: That works. Now the question is "why". Note that I have no "options
: CONSPEED" so according to /sys/dev/sio/sioreg.h, it should default to 9600
: and indeed does, after a reboot. But not on a cold startup.
Somewhere along the way, it gets set to 115200. Maybe it is
initialized to 115200 by the boot blocks? I think once there's a
divisor programmed into the serial port, the kernel console code
doesn't change it. I could be wrong about this, however....
