HOW TO - Connect the serial console

[runyor]

I believe my serial-USB adapter does not support high baud rate as well. This is what I did to change the baud rate on the Debian Installer:

• mount the sd card on your main machine and append this line at the end of /extlinux/extlinux.conf
  APPEND ${cbootargs} console=ttyS2,115200
  
• now you can screen /dev/ttyUSB0whatever 115200
  
• when the ncurses interface started I got gibberish characters (some issue with encoding I guess). To fix that just exit screen (ctrl+a then k then y) and launch screen again. To update the interface I suggest typing (with tx attached of course) something like arrows
