Do you have a working console in the loader? It is setting the hint based on what the loader uses. I use this to use COM2 for both loader and kernel: console="comconsole vidconsole" comconsole_port=0x2f8 Note that when hw.uart.console is set, any flags set in hint.uart.X.flags to set the console are ignored. If you are not using -h in /boot.config or setting 'console' for the loader to enable a serial console then the loader should not be setting hw.uart.console (if it is, that is a bug to be fixed). However, configuring the kernel to use a different serial console from the loader seems very odd. You should be able to manually set hw.uart.console in loader.conf if you are doing that. -- John Baldwin
