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?
