You need to recompile the bootblocks to change the baudrate; set BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED in /etc/make.conf, then do: # cd /sys/boot # make clean cleandepend # make depend && make && make install # disklabel -B <boot device> -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
