You have to recompile the boot stuff also, after changing the line in make.conf:
# The default serial console speed is 9600. Set the speed to a larger value
# for better interactive response.
#
BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 57600
Then cd /sys/boot ; make depend all install.
I forget if you then need to relabel the disk or not.
ie :
disklabel -B da0
