It's been a few years since I did it on my Indy, but looks like you
can just add "append" lines to arc.cf:

Could still possibly be unsuccessfully trying to use a tty0 virtual
terminal or something instead of ttyS0 by default. Also make sure
the kernel's using the same baud as the firmware--your issue might
just be a simple mismatch there (though random garbage after the
count would have been a more likely symptom of that).
