            Bug ID: 213651
           Summary: include serial console support in install media by
                    default, via /usr/src/release/Makefile adjustments?
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: slvr32@gmail.com

I'm aware that there are a couple of different methods to accommodate serial
console install, e.g. via boot floopy or by modifying install media to add
'console=3Dcomconsole' to /boot/loader.conf, but would it be worth entertai=
ning
serial console support by default?

With FreeBSD 10.3, I noticed that it would be quite easy to accomplish this
with a few changes to /usr/src/release/Makefile

(add the console=3Dcomconsole detail after the vfs.mountroot.timeout entrie=
s in
/usr/src/release/Makefile, e.g. for context...

echo vfs.mountroot.timeout=3D\"10\" >> ${.TARGET}/boot/loader.conf
echo console=3D\"comconsole\" >> ${.TARGET}/boot/loader.conf
