Hi all,

i am trying to get the serial terminal working with the beagleboard
and I am running android on it but I am not able to take control of
the Terminal when it asks me for the autoboot option.

Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.2 (Feb 19 2009 - 12:01:24)
Reading boot sector
Loading u-boot.bin from mmc

U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 19 2009 - 12:23:21)

I2C: ready
OMAP3530-GP rev 2, CPU-OPP2 L3-165MHz
OMAP3 Beagle board + LPDDR/NAND
DRAM: 256 MB
NAND: 256 MiB
Using default environment

MUSB: using high speed
In: serial usbtty
Out: serial usbtty
Err: serial usbtty
Board revision C
Serial #25e0000300000000040323090d024010
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0

At this point I am not able to enter any key and get in to the
terminal??

Any help on this will be appreciated.

I suggest you read the section 13 of System Reference Manual http://beagleboard.org/static/BBSRM_latest.pdf and make sure you have the correct cable configuration and that the ribbon cable is plugged in with the stripe on the pin 1 end of the connector.
