>Organization:
>Environment:
>Description:
Neither the pages at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html nor http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-blocks.html detail how to recompile boot blocks for when an option like BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED is updated in make.conf
>How-To-Repeat:
      
>Fix:
Add documentation that explains that:

cd /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2
make clean
make all install

are needed before 'disklabel -B diskslice' if you are trying to compile boot blocks with custom settings like an updated COM_CONSOLE_SPEED.
