HUH??? WAAA?!? Sounds to me like you're posting with your eyes closed! Look
carefully at the subject line if not the message from init, what do you
see there, oh ya, console. Now ask yourself, what does that have to do with
serial cables, hmmmmm??? :-}.

Unfortunately, it sounds to me like some sort of hardware problem with the
video adapter (I don't remember from the original posting whether that was
changed or not). Might try and see if the installation boot diskette has
the same problem or not.
