I have
root@copia:/root # more /boot.config
-Dh
and
root@copia:/root # grep 'cons' /boot/loader.conf
console="comconsole,vidconsole"
comconsole_speed="19200"
boot_multicons="yes"
Which works fine for ipmi based serial over lan console in a generic
9.1-RELEASE.
Not sure thats that helpful but 19200 is better than 9600 ;)
