            Bug ID: 213467
           Summary: loader.conf(5) man page should mention "efi" option
                    for "console" parameter
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: woodsb02@freebsd.org

When trying to boot a system with both efi and serial output, the required
configuration in /boot/loader.conf is to set:
console=3D"comconsole,efi"

However, the "efi" option is not listed in the loader.conf(5) man page, so =
the
user may be tempted to use the "video" option instead (which is listed),
however this does not work on efi systems.

Please document the "efi" option for the "console" parameter.
