Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Appears to be a sysinstall problem that is probably not i386-specific.

Dear Richard, 

Apparently this PR has languished for a long time, and we apologize for that! 
This sounds like a serial port issue, possibly with FreeBSD, but likely 
fairly specific to your hardware as it's not being seen on a lot of other 
hardware.  Would it be possible for you to re-test this with a more recent 
version of FreeBSD, such as 6.3 or 7.0, on the same hardware and let us know 
if the problem persists? 

thanks!
