Because now the loader has new behaviour of using the existing speed if the previous stage indicates a serial port is in use, instead of blindly jamming in a compile-time setting. The loader should use the following, in order of priority: comconsole_speed= in /boot/loader.conf existing speed, if comconsole is already set by previous stage BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED compile time default > Anyway, I also thought that installworld would take care of installing > any updated boot blocks, if necessary.

They'll be placed in /boot, but not in the mbr or slice I think. -ed _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
