serial console on USB ?

[Mike Tancsa]

I came across a thread mentioning potential patches being added a while
back to allow for the console to work with USB, but I am not able to get
it to work with RELENG_8

If I just add

ttyU0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure

I can login to the box no problem.  But That does not show bootup access
via the serial console. Is there a way to enable that ?

I tried adding
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
hw.usb.ucom.cons_unit=0
hw.usb.ucom.cons_baud=9600

to /boot/loader.conf

but it did not work

# usbconfig
