Hello matthew,

That's correct. But it's easy enough to create it:
# echo "-h" > /boot.config

From my understanding,  0x10 is preferred as this enables you to also
use a keyboard/screen combo as console (say: it just works for me).

Yes you do: change
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
to
ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  on secure
if you need more than one serial consoles, you can also set the
following lines to on.





Best regards,
 Gabriel
