Still not working quite right.  How do I set the serial console speed 
for pxeboot_com0?  It looked like a compile-time option I wasn't sure 
where to set.  For obvious reasons, I'd like to set it to whatever 
speed I'm running my Soekris console at; for equally obvious reasons, 
I'd like that as fast as possible.
