System: NetBSD proton. 1.6 NetBSD 1.6 (INTEL-ISP1100) #0: Mon Sep 16 10:40:26 PDT 2002 ball@proton.:/usr/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/INTEL-ISP1100 i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

The dot.profile unconditionally sets the baud rate to 9600.

(Wouldn't it be better to just run with what the kernel thinks?)

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to install on a machine with a serial console where the serial port
baud rate is not 9600.

>Fix:

Below is the quick and dirty fix.  I do not know how to change the new
build order to allow customization of the dot.profile for specific boot
floppies.
