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: --- serialconsole-setup.html.old 2011-08-07 21:42:08.376155000 +0930 +++ serialconsole-setup.html 2011-08-07 21:43:27.318248588 +0930 @@ -742,7 +742,7 @@ writing just one line in <tt class="FILENAME">/boot/loader.conf</tt>:</p> <pre class="PROGRAMLISTING"> -set console="comconsole" +console="comconsole" </pre> <p>This will take effect regardless of the settings in the boot block discussed in the @@ -755,7 +755,7 @@ <p>Likewise, you can specify the internal console as:</p> <pre class="PROGRAMLISTING"> -set console="vidconsole" +console="vidconsole" </pre> <p>If you do not set the boot loader environment variable <tt class="ENVAR">console</tt>,
