The page states that the format of this variable should be documented in uart(4) but it is not. However, the current version of uart(4) does document the format of this variable(which probably means that bug #27= 7848 should also be closed as fixed). I encountered this issue when attempting to set up an embedded device with a UART terminal, and it would probably be go= od to let future readers know that the documentation does exist. I first discovered this wording on 15.0 but have confirmed that it still ex= ists in 16.0-CURRENT. Existing wording: The FreeBSD kernel will look at the hw.uart.console variable to set its ser= ial console. Its format should be described in uart(4) but is not. Suggested wording: The FreeBSD kernel will look at the hw.uart.console variable to set its ser= ial console. Its format is described in uart(4).
