Description

After loading an ADI RCC-VE with pfSense-memstick-ADI-2.2.2-RELEASE-amd64.img the system works fine. Once the configuration is backed up and restored there are changes to /boot/config.local that prohibit the serial port from functioning as a console:

Right after install:

boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
hint.uart.0.flags="0x00"
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"
autoboot_delay="3"
vm.kmem_size="435544320"
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
hw.usb.no_pf="1"

after backup/restore: (note comconsole_port missing)

hint.uart.0.flags="0x00"
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"
autoboot_delay="3"
vm.kmem_size="435544320"
vm.kmem_size_max="535544320"
boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"
hw.usb.no_pf="1"

this issue is fixed. there is a different problem in that it doesn't enable the serial console properly after clean installation, leaving this as is until that one's confirmed fixed.
