On a non-branded mini-pc: boot froze with the message:
atkbd0 : [GIANT LOCKED]SOLUTION (that worked for me):
At boot loader prompt, choose to configure boot options (option 7) and try:
unset hint.uart.1.at
bootIf this works, you can permanently comment the
hint.uart.1.at="isa"...entry in
/boot/device.hints -

On a non-branded mini-pc: boot froze with the message:
atkbd0 : [GIANT LOCKED]Some BIOSes provide a setting to boot without keyboard attached - maybe that mini-pc has a similar setting?

After the System Update from 2.6.0 to 2.7.0, this change is reset, and it must be re-made. It is necessary to make changes during the first reboot after the update, as described above, and then after loading, edit the line 22 in /boot/device.hints like this #hint.uart.1.at="isa"I use Dell Wise 3040 as a home router - I really like it in this role, but it has the above problem when installing pfSense.
Onboard Ethernet on RTL8168/8111 as WAN, USB Gigabit Ethernet RTL8153 as LAN because RTL8153 don't support to modify ("spoof") the MAC address to use it as WAN, WiFi WLAN RT5370 as OPT1.

yes, you should/could unset this variable in /boot/loader.conf.local - the hints file will be overwritten by updates / the loader.conf.local file does not get overwritten
see: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1059406

Yup you can put hints in loader.conf.local and they will survive an update.

Thanks to everyone for the help!
I created the file /boot/loader.conf.local and placed a hint #hint.uart.1.at="isa":
echo '#hint.uart.1.at="isa"' >> /boot/loader.conf.local
I'll see the result at the next update.

@laschevskiy-oleg that won't do anything
Hashtags comment things out...
Read the post I linked. Previously -
Yes you can't comment something that isn't set there!
You probably want to just disable uart1 like:
hint.uart.1.disabled="1"
