The bit #8 does not prevent user to use break sequence at boot. It just prevent to use it when IOS is loaded ... When a router is in 0x2102, u can use break sequence at boot to enter ROMMON. When a router is in 0x2002 (break enabled), u can use break sequence when IOS is loaded and take traces when router hangs for example.
Your problem is that u change console baud rate by setting the bit #5.Just set your terminal speed to 19200 and it will works ... NB : a good advice : if your terminal displays strange caracters, it's often a baud rate problem ... http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_mod/cis3600/hw_in st/3600hig/3600appc.htm Baud Bit 5 Bit 12 Bit 11 115200 1 1 1 57600 1 1 0 38400 1 0 1 19200 1 0 0 9600 0 0 0 4800 0 0 1 2400 0 1 1 1200 0 1 0 Hope it helps. ---- Stephane Litkowski Network Engineer (Paris, FRANCE) CCNA + CCNP ""Mark W.
