I've noticed an error in doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html (as viewed
at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html).
Section "26.6.6.1" entitled "Setting Up the Serial Console" is specifying
commands that you would type at the loader prompt and suggesting that they
be added to "/boot/loader.conf". The examples use the "set" keyword when
this should be omitted.
A unified diff to fix the web page would be:
