OK you guys!! How do I rebuild the bios boot blocks? I read
thru the README.serial in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot and
know I need to recompile and install the new boot blocks.
I altered /etc/make.conf to hardcode the serial port address
for a serial console and also set the speed to 19200. I did
do the make in the /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot directory
however did not do the make install yet as I fear I need to
do a disklabel after that to enable the blocks and don't know
the correct command to use. I don't think the system will boot
if I screw this up so I want to ensure I'm doing it right.
Can someone detail the correct procedure?
