FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE

>Description:

When installing through a serial console, it is impossible to get a root prompt without adding a user to group wheel who can su.

>How-To-Repeat:

Hook up a null modem with Tera Term and install FreeBSD on a box.

>Fix:
	
Two possibilities:
1) Make fixit shell launch a shell directly, or provide some way to get to "emergency holographic shell" besides pressing alt-F4, which closes Tera Term. :)
2) Turn on the serial console the system installs through in /etc/ttys.

Thanks,
