    loader.conf - Clarify kernel early boot comport operation
    
    * Add clarification.  sioX.port must also be specified for early kernel
      boot messages, otherwise the serial console doesn't activate until
      init is executed.
    
      Defaulting this value is difficult because missing serial ports can
      cause different units to probe to different ports.  Thus this is a
      required field if a serial console is desired.
