https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D213651 Bug ID: 213651 Summary: include serial console support in install media by default, via /usr/src/release/Makefile adjustments? Product: Base System Version: 10.3-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: conf Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: slvr32@gmail.com I'm aware that there are a couple of different methods to accommodate serial console install, e.g. via boot floopy or by modifying install media to add 'console=3Dcomconsole' to /boot/loader.conf, but would it be worth entertai= ning serial console support by default? With FreeBSD 10.3, I noticed that it would be quite easy to accomplish this with a few changes to /usr/src/release/Makefile (add the console=3Dcomconsole detail after the vfs.mountroot.timeout entrie= s in /usr/src/release/Makefile, e.g. for context... echo vfs.mountroot.timeout=3D\"10\" >> ${.TARGET}/boot/loader.conf echo console=3D\"comconsole\" >> ${.TARGET}/boot/loader.conf --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
