OK. I've got the serial connection working (after finally discovering that you had to set no flow control (i.e. no RTS/CTS or XON/XOFF handshaking. Trap for young players.)

We're using Beta 7b, and it seems to set up OK, but I can't get it to go into shell. It allows me to get into pump mode (whatever that is) via hitting Ctrl-A, but even holding down the 'q' key during the entire boot sequence doesn't seem to get a shell.

In Verement's journal he says he was able to get shell by pressing 'q ENTER', but this doesn't work for me either.

Suggestions?
