I am going to leave this issue until after New Years so that I do not
cause any avoidable unscheduled interruptions to my vacation. 
However, I do have a question relating to what can go wrong.
Given this /boot/loader.conf:
# cat /boot/loader.conf
geli_ada1p4_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_ada1p4_keyfile0_type="ada1p4:geli_keyfile0"
geli_ada1p4_keyfile0_name="/boot/encryption.key"
geli_ada2p4_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_ada2p4_keyfile0_type="ada2p4:geli_keyfile0"
geli_ada2p4_keyfile0_name="/boot/encryption.key"
geli_ada3p4_keyfile0_load="YES"
geli_ada3p4_keyfile0_type="ada3p4:geli_keyfile0"
geli_ada3p4_keyfile0_name="/boot/encryption.key"
aesni_load="YES"
geom_eli_load="YES"
geom_eli_passphrase_prompt="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/ROOT/default"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
zpool_cache_load="YES"
zpool_cache_type="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
zpool_cache_name="/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
zfs_load="YES"
vmn_load="YES"
nmdm_load="YES"
if_bridge_load="YES"
if_tap_load="YES"
# Testing settings for IPMI Serial Over LAN console
boot_multicons="YES"
What would happen if the line __ boot_multicons="YES" __
was moved to a line above
__ geli_ada1p4_keyfile0_load="YES" __
AND after moving it contained a syntax error, say a mismatched
quotation mark.  What would be the consequences and how would they be
repaired?  Direct access to a hardwired console is possible in this
case.
