If yes, then this means it'll override 'console' setting I specified in "loader.conf", hmm...? e.g. if I specified 'console=3Dvidconsole' in 'loader.conf', but has '-D' in /boot.config, will I get output on both serial and internal console, hmm...? And BtW, if I specify anything at loader prompt, e.g. "set comconsole_speed=3D115200", it works, i.e. I can connect to serial console at 115200 bps. So won't values specified at loader prompt have same priority as values specified in "loader.conf", hmm... ?

I've all my hostname, and DNS stuff set up correctly, so there isn't problem of any kind, as I see messages of sendmail, sshd starting on my serial console at 9600bps. BtW, only 'dmesg' message appears on my video console, whereas all kind of messages appear on serial console, do I need some changes in syslog too to get all messages also on my video console, hmm...?
