On two of my firewalls upgraded to 2.2.1, I see three options in
Advanced->Admin Access menu serial communications menu:

Serial Terminal *Enables the first serial port with 115200/8/N/1 by
default, or another speed selectable below.* Note: This will redirect the
console output and messages to the serial port. You can still access the
console menu from the internal video card/keyboard. A *null modem* serial
cable or adapter is required to use the serial console.Serial Speed  115200
57600  38400  19200  14400  9600   bps
Allows selection of different speeds for the serial console port. Primary
Console  Serial Console  VGA Console
Select the preferred console if multiple consoles are present. The
preferred console will show pfSense boot script output. All consoles
display OS boot messages, console messages, and the console menu.

but on others I see:

Serial Speed  115200  57600  38400  19200  14400  9600   bps
Allows selection of different speeds for the serial console port. Primary
Console  Serial Console  VGA Console
Select the preferred console if multiple consoles are present. The
preferred console will show pfSense boot script output. All consoles
display OS boot messages, console messages, and the console menu.


The latter is running the netgate firmware, being a netgate box.  This box
configuration for /etc/ttys and loader.conf does seem to be as if the
checkbox is turned on.

Is this intentional?
