      Updated last night (snap is (i386) built on Fri Jan 21 06:52:27 EST 2011) and my lsystem-log is filled with this:

      I have enabled before the serial console in "System" -"Advanced". Disabled it again to see if anything changes, but nothing. Same as before.

        If you're still having trouble then search the forums. I had this problem and posted the solution already.

          yep, your right. Answer was there.

          This time that corruption was on a full install, its not a nanobsd, so maybe that check would be applied to any kind of install, not only nanobsd?

          Thanks for your answer.

            Update:

            When i have "This will enable the first serial port with 9600/8/N/1 " ticked, with every update the log is filled with mentioned entries.
            So a check of /etc/gettytab brought this error (if its one):

            default:\
                    ::cb:ce:ck:lc:fd#1000:im=\r\n%s/%m (%h) (%t)\r\n\r\n:sp#1200:\
                    :if=/etc/issue:
            
            

            I deleted the first colon and restarted getty.
            Check of the other entry as mentioned here (http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,31151.msg161251.html#msg161251) was ok, only the baud-rate differed. Was 115200, i changed to 9600.

            Now i get this:

            Jan 26 15:27:40 init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyu0, sleeping 30 secs
            Jan 26 15:27:40	init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyu0, sleeping 30 secs
            Jan 26 15:27:10	getty[8307]: login_tty /dev/ttyu0: Inappropriate ioctl for device
            Jan 26 15:27:10	getty[8307]: login_tty /dev/ttyu0: Inappropriate ioctl for device
            

            Only disabling the serial console helps to get rid of this errors. So at the moment i can't use the serial console. :(

              This is definitly broken!

              I have with every update a doubel colon in m gettytab! Should i open a bug-report? Is there any other person having this feature?
              Its annoying!

              Serial console is still not usable!

                That entry is supposed to start with two colons, at least it does on all my installs.

                I don't see any errors like that at all, and my VMs with serial console turned on work great.
