Shows me how to get it set up, however, it should probably also tell people that they at least need the sio device compiled into their kernels as well.
Some of us recompile kernels, and remove as much as possible, which would cause the instructions to not work.

Correct. Removing the drivers for your console device will cause your console to stop working.

Could you add that to the above linked post as well, so that people don't make the same mistake i did?
Or at least point to the FreeBSD handbook, it has an entire section devoted to serial console.
