            Bug ID: 229976
           Summary: Make it easier to disable the serial console on arm
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: arm
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: arm
          Assignee: freebsd-arm at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: peo at nethead.se

The serial console is enabled by default on ARM for obvious reasons.
However, if you need the uart for other tasks, it is very complicated to
disable the serial console when it is hardwired in more than one place.

I wish we could have something similar to Linux where you can just edit
config.txt and cmdline.txt to achieve this.

This thread pretty much sums it up:
