>Description:

Handbook's handbook/serialconsole-setup.html page refers to ttyd0 as
the default serial console of a system. As of FreeBSD 8.0, ttyu0 is the
default port, so the docs need to be updated to handle both devices.

>How-To-Repeat:

Read serialconsole-setup.html while configuring a fresh install of
FreeBSD 8.0

>Fix:

grep through the handbook and other docs for references to ttyd0 and
update to refer to ttyd0 or ttyu0 (FreeBSD 8.0 and higher)
