This setting is correct and should work. In fact it is already halfway
working because you see the boot-process.

Are you using a USB to serial converter? If so the one you are using may
not work well. There are cheap ones out there that cause all kinds of
problems. Try a different brand.

i'll second that. i have two converters in front of me, visually
indistinguishable, generic; both load the pl2303 driver when inserted.
one works fine on my xM, the other generates garbage. go figure.

I work with serial-usb converters all day, and we only buy converters
with FTDI or CP2101 chipset. These never caused any problem.
