            Bug ID: 209275
           Summary: Cannot utilize both serial and efi console with UEFI
                    booting
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jbw@hilltopgroup.com

I cannot get dual consoles for boot running in FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE using t=
he
UEFI boot.

When my settings are:

/boot.config:
     -D -S115200

/boot/loader.conf:
     boot_multicons=3D"YES"
     boot_serial=3D"YES"
     comconsole_speed=3D"115200"
     console=3D"comconsole,efi"
     geli_ada0p4_keyfile0_load=3D"YES"
     geli_ada0p4_keyfile0_type=3D"ada0p4:geli_keyfile0"
     geli_ada0p4_keyfile0_name=3D"/boot/encryption.key"
     aesni_load=3D"YES"
     geom_eli_load=3D"YES"
     geom_eli_passphrase_prompt=3D"YES"
     vfs.root.mountfrom=3D"zfs:zroot/ROOT/default"
     kern.geom.label.gptid.enable=3D"0"
     zpool_cache_load=3D"YES"
     zpool_cache_type=3D"/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
     zpool_cache_name=3D"/boot/zfs/zpool.cache"
     zfs_load=3D"YES"

GELI passphrase shows in both consoles, but only accepts input from keyboard
(at least only the enter key.  It seems as if it might get some sort of oth=
er
input from the serial console since the passphrase isn't correct when mount=
ing
occurs, and I have to enter it again from they keyboard OR serial console at
this phase).  Beastie menu shows on both, but doesn't have the auto-timeout=
 for
boot, and only accepts input from keyboard.  Login works from both consoles.


When my settings are the same above except for the line

"console=3Dcomconsole" instead of "console=3Dcomconsole,efi"

All console output/input works fine from the serial port, but nothing appea=
rs
on the monitor until actual OS starts to boot. Autoboot from the beastie me=
nu
works fine in this mode, but GELI passphrase and beastie menu don't appear =
on
the monitor.


When my settings are the same above except for the line

"console=3Dcomconsole, vidconsole" instead of "console=3Dcomconsole,efi" (l=
ike
before the efi booting)

I get "console vidconsole is invalid!" and everything else is the same as i=
f I
just had the comconsole as above.
