Two more quick questions: how to change baud rate? Can kermit > capture the output? (I use kermit on the other FreeBSD machine). You need to recompile the bootblocks to change the baudrate; set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED in /etc/make.conf, then do: # cd /sys/boot # make clean cleandepend # make depend && make && make install # disklabel -B -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
