Hey, > and most if not all server class motherboards support it. Yeah if it was a server motherboard it would be p*ss easy. Unfortunately as mentioned in the title "consumer hardware" not "server hardware" and also within the body of my initial email I highlight there is no hardware (firmware) support for it. I originally though this is not possible, but when reviewing loader.efi(8) it says it is. So theres really two questions here: 1. Are TTL USB drivers available within loader stage 2. How do I set the console_device to the correct device as all the hex codes within the man page assume /dev/uartx not /dev/ttyUx. Thanks, -- Polarian Jabber/XMPP: polarian@icebound.devhome | help
