yes, you are probably correct. Assuming then, that if we want speeds above
9600bps,  and assuming that the bios set the bauds correctly,
how about setting BOOT_BOOT0_COMCONSOLE_SPEED=0 and if so
in boot0.S

#if defined(SIO) && COMSPEED != 0
/*
 * Initialize the serial port.  bioscom preserves the driver number in DX.
 */
		movw COMSPEED,%ax		# defined by Makefile
		callw bioscom
#endif
