If you're using another computer as a terminal into your FreeBSD system, get a null modem cable to go between the two serial ports. If you're using an actual terminal, see its accompanying instructions.
Then, modify /etc/ttys, like above. For example, if
you're hooking up a WYSE-50 terminal to the fifth serial port,
use an entry like this:
ttyd4 "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400" wyse50 on secure
This example shows that the port on /dev/ttyd4 has a
wyse50 terminal connected at 38400 bps with no parity
(std.38400 from /etc/gettytab) and root logins
are allowed (secure).
