Thanks for the quick response guys. Yes, putty is cross-platform, but I am actually running putty on Windows ;) It connects over the serial device on my laptop to the board running Linux. But Greg, you actually triggered me to check my hardware configuration and guess what? I was using the wrong kind of cable :) I used a simple male-female converter when I in fact had to use a cable that swapped Rx/Tx. My bad! But I have yet one more issue now. If I tell Linux to use my ttyUSB0 as console device on the boot cmdline, would it actually be able to start it in time? I am running with a 3.6 kernel btw.
