installing via serial

[Kerry Hoath]

One thing to be aware of however;
grub and lilo only support baudrates up to 38400 even though the kernel 
serial support can run things faster.

38400 is the fastest speed that works with boot loader and kernel.

Regards, Kerry.

Yeah, I'd go the other way and set the baud rate to 115200.  Just make sure
ythe emulator you're using on windows is using the same settings.
