I have serial console set up on an old-ish supermicro system.  The IPMI 
widget on the supermicro system "owns" ttyb, initially doing 
screen-scraping from the VGA port but the screen-scraping cuts out when 
the software being booted opens the device itself.

I have the loader switch over to using serial at 115200 bits per second 
with the following in /boot/loader.conf.local:

console="ttyb"
os_console="ttyb"
ttyb-mode="115200,8,n,1,-"
