AIUI the > Pi defaults to 115200, can it be set in config.txt? I think you're right -- FreeBSD amd64 defaults to 9600 according to boot(8), but arm64 has 115200 compiled, in device tree? Fwiw I typically set "-Dh -S<speed>" in /boot.config on PC's, but now I'm realizing that may be ignored by arm platforms? In theory serial speed can be set in config.txt (e.g. init_uart_baud) but that may be a linux-ism, I don't know if FreeBSD will use it. I was admittedly focusing on FreeBSD loader config rather than Pi settings, though; maybe it can be set in /boot/loader.conf if needed, e.g. comconsole_speed? Cheers, sr.
