In : order to make this permanent, you have to rebuild and reinstall your : bootblocks so to always pick the serial console. One caveat here--installing a new "boot1" (the first sector on the disk) may cause problems. This happened to me, but it may be because I have installed FreeBSD to use the so-called "dangerously dedicated" option (i.e., to not share the disk with any other OS). I don't know how to install just "boot2" with disklabel -B, so I used "dd" to copy the first sector to a file, then used that file for "boot1". -- Tom Rush tarush@chatt.mindspring.com -- Tom Rush tarush@chatt.mindspring.com
