Did you re-compile your boot blocks appropriately afterward? cd /sys/boot && make all install clean is the ugly way of doing it (I could never get the "right" way from the docs to work) and it works beautifully. I have a large number of deployed servers using com2 at 38400 for console all the way through boot. Make sure you create /boot.config with the correct flag(s), too - "-P" if you want it to autodetect keyboard vs. serial console on boot. -- Tim Wilde [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
