I will check that setting on the config switches.  I am using a cable that
should have them and the USB serial should as well.  I thought I set

I'm using the miniroot right now, but might have to try to make an installed
file-system image or something.  I need to spend some more time testing it.
Getting kernels into the miniroot and copied over to be an emulated did is a
pain right now.
