I was not much more successfull. I have only the following output in my 
minicom window
Ø..ÿÿÿÿÿ

I still have monitor, mouse and keyboard attached.

"Ø." comes before the of prompt shows up
After entering 
/cd PEGASOS1.;1 console=ttyS01,115200n8
I get the second "." on my minicom console.
After the "return 0 from prom_init" I get the rest
".ÿÿÿÿÿ"

I think I have also a HW problem as my serial communication between the 
pegasos I (kernel 2.6.8) to my powerbook only work in the direction Pegasos-> 
Powerbook but not the other way round. But I could establish using picocom on 
both side a connect with 115200 bauds. I will try to test with another USB -> 
serial converter next week.

Best regards
