saving changes to line con 0

[u097mford]

Hello,

I was configuring a new Catalyst 2960 switch and had forgotten to set the speed back to 9600 after downloading the new IOS software image.  I finished doing all of my configurations and went in to line con 0 to change the speed back to 9600.  The change was accepted and I did a 'wr' to save the change, but when I reload the switch it is back to 115200.

What am I missing to get this speed change to stick?

Thanks!

It is showing the baud rate at the correct speed right now, but only because I haven't reloaded or powered it off yet.  I could try to interrupt the boot and set baud from ROMMON, but it doesn't seem to like the fn+break combo from my laptop.
