Anton,

Thanks for answering.

I thought:
>/etc/ttys:
>ttyu1   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on  secure

is for com2?

I also thought:
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"

Is for com2?

you said:
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"

Is that for for a serial only console?  I read in some posts, to use:
hint.uart.1.flags="0x30"

for both a local console with a serial console.  I could not find much 
documentation on the uart or sio flags.
