Hi, I have two machines running -current. One of them is configured for serial console and connected to the second one. On the 2nd one I usually build world and the kernels for the two machines. The I install world and the kernels from /usr/obj of the 2nd machine (exported via nfs). In principal this works just fine.... Except that I decided yesterday to raise the serial console speed to 115200 by putting the appropriate line into /etc/make.conf. I though, that this definition wouldn't matter for the machine without serial console. So I was really surprised to see, that that machine didn't boot anymore today. What happens is, that it prints the BTX loader version line, the cursor jumps to the upper left corner of the screen and there it stays until i press ctrl-alt-del or hit reset. Rebuilding /usr/src/sys/boot without the speed definition in /etc/make.conf fixes the problem. So, how is the serial console speed tangled to the non-serial console boot??? Is this a bug or a feature?
