If I use the escape sequence for help (~?) then I Hello, do you want to establish pre-boot sessions via SoL or a login session to FreeBSD? For the latter, if you add boot_multicons="YES" to /boot/loader.conf, you can leave /etc/ttys as it is (having that nifty ttyuX status "onifconsole"). Else there is also "boot_serial" and "console="comconsole[,efi]" e.g. for /boot/loader.conf. If you really want have login only, edit /etc/ttys to "on" instead of "onifconsole". Best, -harry
