Hi,
I did follow the wiki to a "t". Each of those files have the
neccessary text in them to enable install via the serial console at
19200bps. Also I have tried to us 9600bps. It did not work either.

Hi,
I have a Soekris net4521 and I am trying to install Debian
Squeeze on it via tftp boot and serial console. However; I
get to where I can select install from a menu list and then
it sits at a blank screen. I am using the buadrate of 19200
8n1 no flow control. Does anyone know how to successfully
install squeeze. I have tried using the wiki guide.
What, if anything, did you do to configure the install
process to use the serial console for the installer at 19200
bps? Did you read the soekris wiki about installing debian?
Normally PC style installers don't know to use the serial
console, preferring the screen console, and need to be
instructed to do so and at what speed.
You may wish to try configuring the 4521 to 9600 bps and
seeing if that works better, but you really should configure the
serial console in the installer before running it. What
does /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/txt.cfg
and
/var/lib/tftpboot/debian-installer/i386/boot-screens/syslinux.cfg
look like?
And, just to pick nits, it's 19200bps, not 19200 baud. The
baud rate is how fast you're signaling, not the gross bit rate.
You're probably still signaling at 9600 baud yet transmitting
data at 19200bps. ;)
