"port" is a number (0 = /dev/ttyS0 = COM1, etc.) or an I/O port address (e.g. 0x3F8); if "baudrate" is omitted, the baud rate defaults to 9600 bps. The serial parameters are hardcoded to be 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. "flowcontrol" is a combination of the following bits: 0x001 - Assert DTR 0x002 - Assert RTS 0x010 - Wait for CTS assertion 0x020 - Wait for DSR assertion 0x040 - Wait for RI assertion 0x080 - Wait for DCD assertion 0x100 - Ignore input unless CTS asserted 0x200 - Ignore input unless DSR asserted 0x400 - Ignore input unless RI asserted 0x800 - Ignore input unless DCD asserted All other bits are reserved. Typical values are: 0 - No flow control (default) 0x303 - Null modem cable detect 0x013 - RTS/CTS flow control 0x813 - RTS/CTS flow control, modem input 0x023 - DTR/DSR flow control 0x083 - DTR/DCD flow control For the SERIAL directive to be guaranteed to work properly, it should be the first directive in the configuration file. NOTE: "port" values from 0 to 3 means the first four serial ports detected by the BIOS. They may or may not correspond to the legacy port values 0x3F8, 0x2F8, 0x3E8, 0x2E8. CONSOLE flag_val If flag_val is 0, disable output to the normal video console. If flag_val is 1, enable output to the video console (this is the default.) Some BIOSes try to forward this to the serial console and sometimes make a total mess thereof, so this option lets you disable the video console on these systems.
