I checked the handbook and read about adding a few lines to /etc/make.conf. Then it said to recompile the "boot blocks" but did not say how to do so. So how do I just recompile the boot blocks? Also, the had book talked about creating /boot.config and adding an "-h" option. And it also talked about adding "set console=comconsole" in /boot/loader.conf. What is the difference between the two ways of doing it? I think I would like to have my serial console available as early in the boot process as possible. What is the best way?
