I found BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT build > option in Handbook (thanks to hiren panchasara to point me this) :) You can now do this differently without needing to recompile nor change any hints for the kernel by just putting this in /boot/loader.conf: console=3D"comconsole vidconsole" comconsole_port=3D"0x2f8" This should set a hw.uart.console hint which overrides the old flags on uartX devices to set the kernel's serial console. You can change the speed via 'comconsole_speed=3D115200' or the like as well. =2D-=20 John Baldwin
