enable the comconsole option, set the baud rate. As for the colours etc, our machines have BIOS that do that too... I added a: set console=comconsole \ What's all this about then? It resets the console (to fix up the bios \ colour change), and outputs a banner. cr .( ^[c) to the start of /boot/loader.rc which is a vt100 reset code. This isn't a general purpose solution, but works for me. Our BIOS also changes the colour just as it exits, leaving it black on black :) --don To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
