I tried this. Rebuilt the kernel without any CONSPEED
option, bootstrap untouched (did already work with 38400),
still the same problem. To illustrate it a bit, here cut & paste
from the console server, which is permanently set at 38400:

[.. from here on, the kernel boot messages should appear
starting with:

but its not readable on the console-server, because
of the wrong speed.
This stays until /etc/rc.sysctl resets
machdep.conspeed=38400
Then the system startup / rc continues (then readable)
until the getty is started (which of course is also
running at 38400)
