      Hi Folks,

      I updated my embedded router to the latest nanobsd embedded image for 1.2.3.  Before I did that I checked that my serial console equipment was working correctly by connecting to the serial console of the router before the upgrade.  This worked fine and I halted the machine from the console with no problems.

      After installing the latest image I tried to reconnect to the serial console and am now encountering a problem.  The serial console is now missing a great deal of characters and I cannot figure out how to refresh or redraw.  Sometime lines arrive intact, however they are often garbled.

      Here is a screen capture what the serial console looks like.
