A, no, i use 115200n8, which is the same as the OF uses for outputting stuff to the serial console. What i experience is the box booting, i get all the kernel boot messages, then the first debian boot floppy screen, the one which tells about debian and such, and with a continue button at the bottom, with the box border displayed in ascii (% and such), but no more, pressing return or tab does not confirm the continue button and bring the second screen.
