My notes on getting a serial console at 115200 -must be com1 -com1 must be at port 0x3F8 irq 4 -in bios set the port and irq as above -in bios set serial redirection to com1 -in bios set baud rate 115200 -in bios set RTS/CTS flow control -edit (or create) /etc/make.conf to add these lines: BOOT_COMCONSOLE_PORT= 0x3F8 BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200 -cd /sys/boot -make clean -make -make install -fdisk -B No im not kidding. Part of the boot knowing baud rate loader lives in the main disk boot block. -cd /boot -edit loader.conf -add a line: console=comconsole -edit /boot.config make it read (with a return after it): -Dh (the above is minus D h return, thats 4 characters) -cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf -edit PASODOBLE (or whatever your kernconf is called) -add: options CONSPEED=115200 # Console Redirection -cd /usr/src -make buildkernel KERNCONF=PASODOBLE -make installkernel KERNCONF=PASODOBLE -reboot -pray
