      I was just poking around and saw in my /boot/loader.conf a lot of duplicate lines. I guess this happened during some botched updates? This is an SG-4860 on factory image updated to 2.4.4.r.20180918.1800)

      kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
kern.ipc.nmbjumbop="524288"
kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9="524288"
zfs_load="YES"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
hint.uart.0.flags="0x00"
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"
autoboot_delay="3"
hw.usb.no_pf="1"

      I assume this should be edited and changed to the below. Should any other lines be removed or changed?

      kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
kern.ipc.nmbjumbop="524288"
kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9="524288"
zfs_load="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole"
comconsole_speed="115200"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
hint.uart.0.flags="0x00"
hint.uart.1.flags="0x10"
autoboot_delay="3"
hw.usb.no_pf="1"

        Yes, indeed. It only needs one comconsole_port="0x2F8" line.

        That was a known bug and is now fixed in what will be 2.4.4 release.
