IBM Blade Server HS20 with FC4

 	These have a serial-over-IP function, which seems to work great 
until you try to use it, and then it just does nothing. This is handled by 
the magical management module (in the chassis).

 	These blades are IBM's HS20, 8843-11U, if that helps. There aren't 
actually any connectors on them, except where they plug into the 
backplane. If they just had a friggin' serial port, this would prolly all 
be moot!

 	RH8, RH9, and FC3 I think just work great on these things. FC4 
instantly panics after loading the kernel. There is some pretty bizarre 
hardware put into these things, we've had a hell of a time with FreeBSD.

 	We have a ton of these, and our intention is to PXE them as 
needed, and use them for QA and Xen stuff. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!
