Netgate SG-8860 install

So I have opnsense installed on the netgate SG-8860 hardware and working.  I would like to get the usb console working however.  I have enabled it in the web interface and I get initial boot via the console, however once opnsense starts to load the console output stops.   I edited the loader as per one of the other forum posts to initially install and after the install I edited the loader again and got most of the boot output.

ee loader.conf.local
#an put the required lines in (some special properties for the netgate usb-serial interface)
hint.uart.0.flags=0x0
hint.uart.1.flags=0x10
comconsole_speed="115200"
comconsole_port="0x2F8"
console="comconsole"
kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"

This is what I did, however at some point opnsense is overwriting the boot loader file each time.  Is there some way I can add these so that they don't get overwritten and allow the console to work?

Thanks,

Andy

Apart from setting the right values in System > Settings > Administration > Console, you can enter those values in System > Settings > Tunables, there they will stick even after updates/upgrades.

Hey, if you had success setting up the console on your SG-8860 can you please share how you did that?
