Umm... I didn't say that putting it in the kernel config would
magically work, I said that it probably ought to go into the
kernel config (the implication being that the kernel config should
cover portions of the bootstrap code rather then make.conf).

:>...and the COMCONSOLE stuff, which should go in the kernel
:>configuration file.

:Well. I think not.
:
:The serial console related variables in /etc/make.conf such as
:BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT and BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED, and another variable
:related to boot behavior, BOOTWAIT, cannot be moved to kernel
:configuration file, because they are meant for compilation of the boot
:block rather than the kernel.
:
:You need to tell both the boot block and the kernel that you want to
:have a serial console, in the current implementation.
:
:/etc/make.conf may not be the best place for these variables, but the
:kernel configuration file is definitely not the place for them.
