Albert, we prefer bottom-posting on this list.

Don't forget to give the serial port settings you want as well,

	console=ttyS0,9600n8 console=tty0

The serial port stuff is "portname,BBBBPN", where "BBBB" is the
baud rate, P is the parity (e, o, n) and N is the number of bits
to use.  "9600n8" is 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity (and is the
default).  "115200e7" is 115,200 baud, 7 data bits, even parity.
