I just use the default of 9600. You don't want to go much faster for the
Linux console anyway. Poor unbuffered serial port with high-latency Linux
OS (compared to AmigaOS ;-).
When the old hard drive died, I lost my Lilo setup, and settled for "newshell
aux:". It was already sufficient hard to transfer the data to a newer +4 GiB
hard drive.
