Hi,

when you use the following loader.conf:

# cat /boot/loader.conf
hint.sio.1.flags="0x20"
comconsole_speed="115200"
boot_multicons="yes"

and have no /boot.config, then booting the kernel is extremely slow. It
writes about one character per second on the screen. Also i dont
actually have a serial device (dmesg says so), although i should.

cu,
Leon
