Right which is why you need to put them in /boot/loader.conf.local which is maintained across an upgrade.

Ohhh okay, took me a while to get there lol

So just add:

hint.uart.0.disabled="1"
hint.uart.1.disabled="1"

to the loader.conf.local and all should be good?

You'll have to test to know if that works. Be sure to have console access in case it doesn't boot!

Would you please so friendly and take a minute on top to this file called /boot/loader.conf.local please.

If I write something in, like the thread opener his line,
and I have several different line to put in for several things
and I want comment this line for what they are standing,
how to do this without problems? as an example:

set CPU Frequent high up to 1400 MHz
hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_perf.0.disabled=1

The octothorpe # indicates a comment so you could do:

# CPU Power and Frequency settings
set CPU Frequent high up to 1400 MHz
hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_perf.0.disabled=1

Thank you!

Here is none active and;

# set CPU Frequent high up to 1400 MHz
#hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1
#hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1
#hint.acpi_perf.0.disabled=1

here are all active, is this rigt?

# set CPU Frequent high up to 1400 MHz
hint.p4tcc.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_throttle.0.disabled=1
hint.acpi_perf.0.disabled=1

I will try out this for my new installation on CP Engines APU to tune the CPU is able going something between
1000Mhz and 1400Mhz against default 600Mhz to 1000Mhz.
