Probably the "best" way is now -S in boot.config, since it means that you don't have to recompile and you only have to change it in one place. Note that the instructions in 22.6.5.1 will still apply -- if you reinstall boot blocks compiled with BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=115200, the loader will automatically pick that up as well. You're right though that the handbook should document the preferred way of accomplishing this. -ed
