Yes. That's just for bios.
What does is hw.uart.console in the boot loader? In fact can you share all
the loader's variables.
Also, can you do show-efi so we can see what ConOut is set to?
The above sure looks like a baud issue. There's automatic things tgat
override stuff. This isn't the PC where comconsole settings do much.
Comconsole is an alias for eficom, for example.
Thanks
