Some would say they're not that recent but lots of google hits on serial console config are obsolete -so what else is new.. On -current the best approach appears to be something like: echo 'console=comconsole' > /boot/loader.conf.local This worked fine here. Now we want to increase the baud rate beyond 9600. Google remembers a note on the -current list from 9-1-03 in which scottl@ talks about the baud rate setting. In that thread theres a mention of a procedure for including the baud rate in the boot block, which I followed and blew up my disk -no big deal. At the time scottl didn't think the comconsole baud rate stored-in-boot-block was the Right Thing but that wasn't enough to stop me from trying. If anyone has some thoughts on this they would be greatly appreciated. -kim __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
