Hi all,
I've been writing a small kernel module, that provides information about
modification of the filesystem to user_land/userspace through the
character device. I'm using FreeBSD 4.10

Hi,
I am trying to setup kgdb on serial console in freebsd. I have done

3. Transferred the kernel.debug to h
it seems that there is no way to change the speed/baudrate of the serial
console, for example, by turning it off in /etc/ttys, and running
tip(1) with different speeds has no effect, it always
stays at the kernel configured speed.
is this by design?
