Same output with 7.2.

Here's an example from my serial port logfile: "[6n[24;01H C[24;02H o[24;03H".

Once it gets past the BTX loader prompt, PuTTY just moves the cursor 
back and forth (but the data above is in the log).  It might be 
sending some text, but if it is the serial output is forcing the 
cursor back and overwriting it with a space.  (My google searches 
lead me to believe it's getting both the video and serial console 
output at the same time.)


Crap.  I do have an Alix with VGA output, so worst case I can do an 
install there, recompile to fix the console, then do the 
Soekris.  But that just feels so wrong--there *must* be a better way.
