https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197244 Bug ID: 197244 Summary: Possible Typo in Command in FreeBSD Handbook (26.6.3. Setting A Faster Serial Port Speed) Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dal36@gmx.co.uk Section '26.6.3. Setting a Faster Serial Port Speed' of the version of the handbook on the website gives the following instruction for setting a faster serial port speed (in the second of the three bullet points in this section): "Add the -S 19200 boot option to /boot.config, replacing 19200 with the speed to use." This appears inconsistent with boot(8), which indicates that there should not be a space between '-S' and '19200'. I've found that following the instruction given in the handbook (i.e. setting this with the space, in /boot.config) causes the boot process to stop at the boot2 prompt (requiring manual intervention), whereas not including the space between the option and the speed parameter gives a complete boot. Would it be appropriate to change this line to: "Add the -S19200 boot option to /boot.config, replacing 19200 with the speed to use." -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
