I'm trying to follow the instructions at
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/serialconsole-setup.html#SERIALCONSOLE-COM2>
to bring the serial console on guest up at 115200 bps. I'm hitting a
snag, perhaps because guest /usr/src/ is mounted read-only via NFS.
Here's the system which holds /usr/src:
>www# uname -a
>FreeBSD www.reppep.com 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #0: Thu
>Sep 11 17:29:50 EDT 2003

>www# grep COM /etc/make.conf

>www# make

>===> i386/mbr
>===> i386/boot0
>===> i386/btx

>total 8
>-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 428 Jul 6 2000 Makefile
>-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4807 Jul 7 2000 mbr.s
Here's the system I want to get the new boot blocks:
>guest# uname -a
>FreeBSD guest.reppep.com 4.9-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.9-PRERELEASE #0:
>Sun Sep 21 23:13:07 EDT 2003
>root@guest.reppep.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/REPPEP i386
>guest# mount|grep src
>www.reppep.com:/usr/src on /usr/src (nfs, read-only)
>guest# cd /sys/boot/
>guest# make install
>===> ficl
>===> i386
>===> i386/mbr
>install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 mbr /boot
>install: mbr: No such file or directory
>*** Error code 71

>*** Error code 1

>Stop in /usr/src/sys/boot.
Is the problem that www isn't making necessary file(s) in
i386/mbr, or is there a problem with my read-only /usr/src on guest,
or is it something else I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Chris Pepper
