I have laptop with m0n0wall installed and configurated. It works but laptop has broken LCD so for initial conf i want to use serial console.

May be because of this?
"1.3b2 (12/23/2006)
automatic keyboard detection for generic-pc(-cdrom); fallback to serial console if no keyboard found"

This feature had to be removed again in 1.3b3 because it didn't work for the increasingly popular USB keyboards:

- removed "-P" option from boot.config again (doesn't work properly with USB keyboards)

(modem cable works, both coms (on m0n0wall and terminal) works) may be somethng wrong with configuration? In what direction i should move?
