Greetings, all!

I'm trying to set up my FreeBSD box with a serial console over a null-modem
cable to my Windows box running SecureCRT (serial connection, not ssh). My
goal is to get rid of the monitor and keyboard on my FreeBSD box to free-up
some desk space.

I've followed the advice in section 13.5 of the FreeBSD Handbook and
/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/README.serial, and I have it working, but I can't
get the connection to work at anything other than the default 9600 bps.

I've added 'BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=19200' in /etc/make.conf, recompiled the
boot blocks and installed them using 'disklabel -B wd0'. I also added
'options CONSPEED=19200' to my kernel config file and recompiled the kernel.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA,

--Dan
