>Description:
Installation kernel forces serial speed to 9600 in /.profile
hpcsh is usually booted with serial console set to 19200, to match
the serial speed used by wince.  Because of this mismatch user is
forced to reconnect to the serial console and guess the speed.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot hpcsh installation kernel with serial console.

>Fix:
Correct things to do is probably to tweak
distrib/hpcsh/miniroot/dot.profile to not set the speed.

 Beware that something has to set the speed, but nothing else may be
 doing it.

 I certainly discovered (and fixed) the i386 port which only set one
 of the input and output baud rates to that passed by the bootloader.

 The i386 /boot program also treats a baud rate of 0 to mean 'read the
 divisor registers' - which it then passes to the kernel.
 Maybe hpcsh could do something similar.
