freebsd stable - Oct 2006 - kernel ignores kenv comconsole_speed?

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?  (This is on a stable  
from yesterday.)

I have -DS115200 in /boot.config, and boot and loader are happily  
using this speed. However, the kernel appears to be hardwired to 9600.

After boot, it's still at 9600:

# stty </dev/ttyd0
speed 9600 baud;
lflags: -icanon -isig -iexten -echo
iflags: -icrnl -ixon -ixany -imaxbel -brkint
oflags: -opost
cflags: cs8 -parenb clocal
# sysctl machdep.conspeed
machdep.conspeed: 9600

However, comconsole_speed is set correctly:
# kenv comconsole_speed
115200


I've recompiled my kernel with options COMSPEED=115200, and that  
fixed the issue for now, but shouldn't the kernel pick up the console  
speed from the kenv instead of using the hard-coded value?  Since  
machdep.conspeed is a sysctl, you can only change it after boot,  
which is kind of inconvenient...

I've only ever gotten it to work when /boot.config looks like "-D - 
S115200".  I don't think you can merge the -S flag with the others,  
at least according to my read of the man page.

Also make sure the boot loader is at least as new as that installed  
by 6.0-REL. Older ones (ie from 5.x didn't work at all with -S for me.)

You will probably want to run "fdisk -B" to update that.
