I have two USB Serial adapters I use on my web server, ones always
connected, to allow NUT to monitor my UPS. The other I use to view the
console of my pfSense firewall, however I sometimes disconnect this one
to use it with my laptop to configure switches.
Because this one is unplugged and plugged back in, sometimes on reboot
it ends up switching its com port with the UPS, so NUT fails to start
and the UPS is unmonitored.
I would like to lock down the USB serial port adapter used on the UPS
to /dev/cuaU0, to make sure the UPS is always monitored and I will get a
clean shutdown in event of a power failure.
I believe that this requires setting a hint line of some sort in the
/boot/loader.conf file, but I am having trouble tracking down what this
should be, or maybe I am on the wrong track. Here is the current
information from the adpapters, the UPS adapter was connected at boot,
is on /dev/cuaU0, the other one was plugged in after boot, and is on
/dev/cuaU1.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
