testbak# installboot -e -o speed=115200 /dev/rwd0a
installboot: unknown option -- e

That indeed seems to confirm the last comment.

Issueing
installboot -o console=com0,speed=115200 /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
doesn't raise any complaints, but after rebooting, nothing appears to have 
changed. I still need to set the baud rate of the terminal-emulation to 38400 to 
'unscramble' the console-output.

Any ideas?
