True, but boot.config is processed by boot1/2 that's installed in the slice. That boot does have knowedge of the serial port and sets the speed as Ian points out. So I suspect that the following happens when you boot: - your BIOS sets the serial port to 9600 - boot0 does nothing with the serial pot - boot1/2 reads the -P in /boot.config and detects no keyboard, and then sets the serial port to 9600 and the console to comconsole - the loader detects that the serial port is enabled and is already set to 9600 Thus, I'm not surprised that you get a 9600 baud console without an rc.conf setting. The thing that concerns me is your report that the console does not run at 115200 even if /boot/loader.conf contains comconsole_speed="115200". -ed _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
