+1.6     Tips for Serial Console Users
+---     -----------------------------
+
+If you'd like to use a serial console for the installation of the
+FreeBSD into i386 machines, follow these steps.
+
+        1. Connect the serial console to the COM1 port of the PC you
+           are installing FreeBSD into.
+
+        2. Try to boot from either the floppy disk made from kern.flp
+           or the installation CD-ROM with the keyboard unplugged.
+
+        3. If you don't get any output on your serial console, re-plug
+           in your keyboard and wait for some beeps.  If you are
+           booting from the CD-ROM, proceed to Step 5 as you hear the
+           beep.
+
+        4. Remove kern.flp and insert mfsroot.flp, and press enter.
+           And wait for another beep.
+
+        5. Hit the space bar, then enter
+
+               boot -h
+
+           and you should be receiving everything from COM1.
