Now the > settings from the boot blocks get used by /boot/loader. Please document this loudly in the UPGRADING file. It caught me totally by surprise that the console speed was now 9600. I thought I lost my serial console since the BIOS was booting up at 115200. If it weren't for the other error (ACPI) keeping the kernel from booting, I would have realized it *before* I drove down to the office late saturday night. See, I needed a serial console to disable part of acpi for debugging.... :-( Anyhow, please, please document this in UPGRADING so others won't be bitten by it. Thanks!
