>Description:
loader doesn't get value of "comconsole_speed" correctly
as described in handbook:

Enable comconsole_speed in /boot/loader.conf.
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

after that it works at default speed 9600 not at 115200
but if you change place last two config options it works fine

I think it's bug and result shouldn't depend is "comconsole_speed" parameter
defined before or after "console" parameter
if it's not bug please correct order in handbook  

>How-To-Repeat:
/boot/loader.conf
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

console works at 9600

---------

/boot/loader.conf
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"

console works at 115200
