Part of the boot knowing baud rate loader lives in the main disk boot block. -cd /boot -edit loader.conf -add a line: console=comconsole -edit /boot.config make it read (with a return after it): -Dh (the above is minus D h return, thats 4 characters) -cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf -edit PASODOBLE (or whatever your kernconf is called) -add: options CONSPEED=115200 # Console Redirection -cd /usr/src -make buildkernel KERNCONF=PASODOBLE -make installkernel KERNCONF=PASODOBLE -reboot -pray
