Re: not working /dev/console

hi Kurt & Warner:
im trying on a PCengines apu2 fbsd 14.2, but have the same symptoms, no console.
dmesg|grep uart -> nothing.
after some trials the best i have is:
	the bsd-menu showing 
		5. Cons: Serial
and only the kernel messages.

no /dev/console, no /dev/ttyu0, but can remote login.

btw, all works fine with a 13.1 kernel
