Highspeed serial consoles and -current

[John W. De Boskey]

Hi,

   I'm trying to increase the speed of the serial console
on a -current box from 9600 to 38400. I've put the following
in /etc/make.conf:

BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=38400 # serial console speed


   Unfortunately, it doesn't work. It still runs at 9600.
I remember seeing something about this (I thought) in one
of the mailing lists, but I can't seem to find it.

   If anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it. I'll
be happy to summarize and provide a doc update.

Thanks,
John

ps: Just a note, I have serial console and login working
on ttyd0 at 9600.

You did change /etc/ttys, right? I have a serial console (null modem
to a notebook PC) running at 115200 just fine,

  $ grep CONSOLE /etc/make.conf 
  BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=  115200
  $ grep ttyd0 /etc/ttys
  ttyd0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on  secure

And it is a CURRENT box last made mid-week.
