I think "at boot" should read "at SRM initialisation". I have the same problem, but I can live without X. I tried several mouse types on both ports, but SRM always complains "mouse error". Once I got some response from one (my memory says it was an old Logitech serial), but the cursor behaves very strange (post install configuration - mouse setup). A longer time ago I read something about non standard serial ports on noname and that this chapter in the handbook would be very obscure. If I remember right, there were said that the lines of the port are normally crossed, while they are straight at noname. Maybe one needs special cables to connect the board with the connector and I have standard PC ones.
