Okay, but why did 4.x through 5.x through 6.x (these have all been on this particular machine) always boot with 115200 until now? :) Anyway, I also thought that installworld would take care of installing any updated boot blocks, if necessary.

Ah, but notice that I didn't use boot0sio, but the regular boot0. It seems the serial port speed setting is compiled out in the latter version. Hence the port speed will be the BIOS default, which I alas can't change; it's always 9600n1. --------------enigF419323E47169639198F9D0F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) iD8DBQFEAQcFsF6jCi4glqMRA2h/AJ93UZtq5zlSfy7GRppum/Ld8SVGOgCg+AI/ JZmdjOB+y9awchsN4OhfanI= =p0fT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigF419323E47169639198F9D0F--
