See below. In between and according to some docus I found I also tried to make changes to /boot/loader.conf - added: boot_multicons="YES" boot_serial="YES" comconsole_speed="9600" console="comconsole,vidconsole" /boot.config - replaced -h with: -S9600 /etc/ttys - added: ttyu0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" cons25 on secure But these changes have no effect. As I wrote: Web access works, SSH also. But I want to have a chance to reach the firewall on a serial port, if network access is not available.
