Yes, I have /dev/ttySA0. And I have getty working on ttySA0 for
login.

One problem: DTR drops right after
"Booting intimate from microdrive..."
and that makes cu disconnect.

I had to add ttySA0 to /etc/securetty!

It took me a lot of trial and errors to change linuxargs.
Setting linuxargs in the  bootmonitor and do "params save"
did not change them. Strange. Has been working.

ipaqbb -s linuxargs="....." worked.

Yes, except for the underscore char before hh2. It's a dash.

Thanks.
