Question How to install with serial console?
I connected a B+ with a serial cable to my PC. Before I have changed in the config.txt the console from

Code:
console=tty1

to

Code:
console=ttymxc0,115200

as explained here. But the only thing I see during boot is

Terminal
Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.


The initrd does not honor the boot parameter. How can I fix this?

You're following the instructions for Cubox-I

cmdline paramaters

Edit the /boot/boot.src.txt file and run /boot/mks afterwards.

I don't believe there is an option for Serial Console on the Raspberry Pi.

It does but it has to be enabled in the kernel (unsure if it is), I have never gotten it to work.

RE: How to install with serial console?
CONFIG_SERIAL_AMBA_PL011_CONSOLE

is enabled for RPI kernels. so should work.
(even have a very weak feeling someone was using that. because remember discussion how to make it permanent (for ttyX)).
