Yes. > - boot0 does nothing with the serial pot I'm using 'dangerously dedicated' disks, so it's only boot[12] that is used. > - 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 Indeed, I never got the "/boot.config: -P" message on the serial console before.

This turns out to be an error on my part, sorry to have you worried. :) I'd accidentally put "console_speed=115200" in loader.conf. With "comconsole_speed=115200" and 9600 baud boot blocks, it works okay, although you don't see any of the boot[12] messages, of course. That's why installing 115200 baud boot blocks is still the better solution for me; my BIOS doesn't have any possibility to set the COM port speeds...
