For reference booting the 2.6 serial installer here I see:

Though with your settings it does still draw the menu, just badly. So maybe you have something set differently...

And note OP uses UTF-8 , you don't

Exactly. I tested using UTF8 and the menu is still drawn (mostly) and works correctly.

Good Morning.
I have now tried the different settings for the translation settings according to your suggestions. Unfortunately, the result is still the same as described above. HELP -
Can you try a different terminal emulator? A different OS?
Are you entering ctl-c to escape the menu when you see this?:
Script /etc/rc.d/local interrupted Updating motd:. Mounting late filesystems:. -
The only way I've managed to drop to the kind of prompt shown is by breaking out of the installer, either by cancelling or ^C. I have yet to see it happen automatically in any way.
Makes me wonder if PuTTY has some kind of login scripting or expect/send stuff happening that is sending input automatically.

i find it very strange too. I'm going through all of your suggestions now. I also took up the suggestion of a "new serial cable" and have now ordered a different cable. Maybe it's really because of it - although I would be very surprised. I can't find any deviation from your settings on Putty itself. But I think the hardware of the box is compatible, right? -
Yeah, there is nothing special about the console port on the APU3. It should work.
Are you entering something to escape the menu? When it shows
Script /etc/rc.d/local interrupted?Steve

Good Morning.
It's done. And the crucial hint came from you around. A big thank you to you. What was the reason: It was the USB serial adapter. I got myself a new adapter and - believe it or not - it now shows everything it should. I completed the installation and it works. Great thing. Thanks to the forum
