You've forced me to use the new scheme. I have a laptop with the serial line on com2(0x2f8) and use 56700 baud. A long time ago I built a boot1/boot2 to do this. In seems that things have changed in the new scheme. It looks like that in sys/boot/i386/Makefile, I need to change: B2SIOPRT?= 0x3f8 B2SIOFMT?= 0x3 B2SIODIV?= 0xc to B2SIOPRT?= 0x2f8 B2SIOFMT?= 0x3 B2SIODIV?= 0x2 This is a bit cryptic and could use a comment or two. But there are more loaders today. It looks like sys/boot/i386/libi386/comconsole.c needs to be handed edited: #define COMPORT 0x3f8 #define COMSPEED 9600 to #define COMPORT 0x2f8 #define COMSPEED 57600 I guess that this should be pulled out to the makefile building the lib. The two files above are the only ones that contain "3f8" so I guess that nothing else needs to be changed.
