      Hi,

      i've a pfsense full install on CF card running on Alix2.c3

      How can I completely disable output to serial port?

      I tried modify /etc/ttys removing ttyd0 reference but bootup log always appear :-(

      Thanks in advance

        Why is System -> Advanced then Disable console menu not enough?

        Did you unpick "This will enable the first serial port with 9600/8/N/1"

        Maybe edit /boot/loader.conf to
        set console="nullconsole"

          That will disable the autologin and the menu but the other systemoutput will still be there.

            In fact I tried unpick "enable serial console" but as Hoba states the systemoutputs are still there!

            so there's no way to disable it completely?
