Re: not working /dev/console

Hi!

I have a case of a PC Engines APU1 model with the most recent 
BIOS that no longer works after the upgrade to 14.2 with the
serial console after boot.

Is that related ?

The devinfo -r output:
- One box where I still have 14.1:
  https://people.freebsd.org/~pi/logs/devinfo-apu1-14.1
- The one apu1 box where I did the upgrade and uart vanished:
  https://people.freebsd.org/~pi/logs/devinfo-apu1-14.2

kenv shows on the 14.1 box:
boot_multicons="YES"
comconsole_pcidev=""
comconsole_port="1016"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole"
hw.uart.console="io:1016,br:115200"

kenv shows on the 14.2 box:
comconsole_pcidev=""
comconsole_port="1016"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole"
hw.uart.console="io:1016,br:115200"

A reboot with the 14.1 kernel did not bring back the serial console 8-(

The boot menue is displayed and can be used, but the boot messages
are cut off before a login appears:

[...]
