The loader should use the following, in order of priority: comconsole_speed= in /boot/loader.conf existing speed, if comconsole is already set by previous stage BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED compile time default > Anyway, I also thought that installworld would take care of installing > any updated boot blocks, if necessary.
