The machine was upgraded from 5.4-STABLE to 6.1-PRE last week, and again over the weekend. I did the following: make buildworld and buildkernel with BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=115200 in / etc/make.conf, options CONSPEED=115200 in the kernel config. make installkernel, reboot, yada yada yada, installworld,.. then boot0cfg -B aacd0 to update the boot blocks. Now, at this point I expected to have a 115200 console on the next boot. Nope. Got 9600 baud again. The other side-effect is now I get this stupid "Boot F1 for DOS and F2 for FreeBSD" menu which defaults to DOS (which is the Dell utility partition). How do I get back to the original boot style where it just boots freebsd without any menu? So I updated my /boot.config to read: -Dh -S115200 now on boot, the boot0 drops to the prompt and makes me type in "/ boot/loader" to continue the process. It is as if it forgot what file to load, and ignores the -S option anyhow, because I still end up with a 9600 baud console. I ran out of time to try setting the speed in /boot/loader.conf but I'm not expecting any miracles.
