ok - i'm new to freebsd (dabbled in it before) and was trying
to set my comconsole speed to 19200.
i set the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED in /etc/make.conf, and tried
the boot2 method in the handbook:
cd /usr/src/boot/i386/boot2 #or whatever it is
make
i posted the script error output of that a few hours ago.
then i tried: (from some other site):
cd /usr/src/i386/boot/biosboot
make
cp boot1 boot2 /boot
disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 /dev/ad0s1
and it didn't work - and my system is hosed, i can't boot.
the system isn't important, but i would like to know how to fix this if possible,
any pointers/commands/etc?
tia,
Tyler Spivey
