-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I haven't used the serial console for a long time, but if you want to do it via passing parameters to the kernel, so that it starts from boot, I believe you'd do something like: con=ttyS0,9600 which would give you a console on the first serial port at 9600 baud. I do stand to be corrected on that, so do have a look at the list of boot parameters which should reside somewhere under linux/Documentation in the kernel sources. As for setting things up on hyperterm, just match up the baud rates, leave everything else as is, and you should be fine I think.
