Does reinstalling boot2 help (e.g. disklabel -B ad0s1)? Previously both boot2 and loader would independently pick up the BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED setting and apply it, but after the recent changes the loader will use the setting from boot2 if a serial console has been selected (-h or -P). What wasn't working without the above loader.conf lines BTW? Was it just the speed that was wrong, or did the kernel not use a serial console at all? Ian
