This works. Notice that the correct syntax is "stty -F /dev/tts/0 115200
-evenp".

I put it as /etc/rcS.d/S00etc-setserial. However, there is still little
garbled message printed out. I am not a perfectionist but I am just curious
what that little garbled message is printed that it is not affected by the
S00etc-setserial script.
