>Description:
	I think the description of the procedure of booting on the serial
	console is getting old in the FreeBSD FAQ, Question 4.5.5. ``How
	do I get the boot: prompt to show on the serial console?''. I suggest
	to snip every (outdated) details from the answer and simply place a link
	to the Handbook (24.6. ``Setting Up the Serial Console'').
