Argh, shouldn't have done this without thinking on a dangerously dedicated disk. :) But after recovering the partition table with fdisk, the new boot blocks work as expected, thanks. > Previously both /boot/loader and the boot blocks would override the > serial port speed according to BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, but I believe > that since the recent change, loader will assume that if the boot > blocks requested a serial console, then they will have already set > up the correct speed. Yes, so people should be urged to upgrade their boot blocks, in case of a non-binary upgrade. (I assume that a binary upgrade WILL install fresh boot blocks?) --------------enig350D2FBC6ACF013A5039B29C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEAg9ysF6jCi4glqMRA7C8AJ9OSmMRybqK6rhGiXP1MAe9fHkD9QCfa8ct 9WUWsjTYpx8+2Zn3vuncWQU= =CD7o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig350D2FBC6ACF013A5039B29C--
