[Bug 289092] Boot a FreeBSD 14.x system from a serial console work partially, unlike 13.x.

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289092 --- Comment #6 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> --- So what are boot_serial and boot_multicons in the boot loader? If only the latter is set, then you'll see this behavior. You need to also set boot_serial=YES. This used to sometimes be set automatically, but not others. I thought we were consisten since 13, but maybe something subtle has changed? I have exactly this setup on both BIOS and EFI booted systems. What might also have changed is setting hw.uart.console. Can you attach kenv of the booted system along with a dmesg? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
