Victor, (Victor, Sorry you got duplicates, I meant to send this to the list the first time because it might help others.)
I had already gotten the inittab change, but what I learned after posting the message by searching the list archives for "serial" is that there are several files named *.ser that have all the serial changes in them. The secret is hiding in the second line of the file syslinux.ser: # This configures Bering-uClibc with only serial consoles. Two steps are needed: # Rename syslinux.ser as syslinux.cfg, and configdb.ser as configdb.lrp serial 0 19200 display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 append reboot=bios default linux initrd=initrd.lrp init=/linuxrc rw root=/dev/ram0 console=ttyS0,19200n8 LEAFCFG=/dev/fd0u1680:msdos The step I missed was renaming configdb.ser as configdb.lrp. While I don't have everything set up yet, this very message is being typed online via the new version of the router. Thanks to the authors, who so very kindly anticipated my problem and provided a solution!!
