Hi Chris, Thanks a lot for you response. I would have hoped for the software solution to work - I also tested copying u-boot.img and MLO to /boot/uboot but I still get the dreaded u-boot prompt.
I now hardwired the Rx line to +3.3V because I don't require u-boot anyway. I can still listen to the serial data with Tx; just must not forget not to connect the Rx pin ... I hope that the board still starts up at in a few hours; the 1st 20 attempts or so have been successful. Thinking about it hardwiring the Rx line might also prevent issues after the startup. It is certainly not ideal if there are ghost characters coming from the serial part even after startup?! If I am extremely lucky (so far my BBB experience has been a very rocky road ...) this also solves the issue that the eth0 occasionally can't be reached (this also happens after a reboot). I use static IP settings and have wicd deinstalled (because wicd caused IP static settings to changed when the network disconnected and re-connected).
