I am impressed :) Can't seem to get it to work with anything other than 9600 (even though the process list shows std.115200), but it gives me some sort of of display to work with during the boot process atleast :) You can use the sysctl machdep.conspeed to change the console speed. But it's not a loader tunable, for boot-speed you need to remake all in /usr/src/sys/boot after you set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200 in /etc/make.conf.

Serial console weirdness
Ok, I am having a bit of trouble setting up a serial console login. The cable is attached to com1, heres my /etc/ttys # If console is marked insecure, then init will ask for the root password # when going to single-user mode. console noneunknown off secure # ttyv0 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure # Virtual terminals ttyv1 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv2 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv3 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv4 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv5 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv6 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv7 /usr/libexec/getty Pc cons25 on secure ttyv8 /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon xterm off secure # Serial terminals # The 'dialup' keyword identifies dialin lines to login, fingerd etc. ttyd0 /usr/libexec/getty std.115200 dialup on secure ttyd1 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup off secure ttyd2 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup off secure ttyd3 /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 dialup off secure # Dumb console dcons /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 vt100 off secure As you can see I have set ttyd0 to on (and adjusted the speed, but it was the same on 9600 to0) Now, my problem is that when I do a kill -HUP 1 nothing happens; Well, I am sure something happens, it certainly doesn't start getty on that serial port though! However(!) when I start getty manually on that port: /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 ttyd0 It promptly goes into the background and on my other machine I get the login prompt and all is well (until I logout as getty isn't being respawned).
