      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! ๐Ÿ˜‰

                @stephenw10 said in boot/device.hints:

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

                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.
