--- Comment #11 from David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to WHR from comment #10)
At least for the installer, it would be good to mirror the output to all serial
devices. If you have remote serial for a machine, you don’t know what it’s
connected to until you have got some way into the installer. Having the boot
process just tell you ‘sorry, this console that loader worked on and that gave
you initial kernel messages? Gone now’ is not very friendly.

This is the first time in 15 years I’ve used the installer for a non-default
flow and the experience was *much* worse than last time. I will try to file
bugs for the other issues.
