Sounds like both of these are the wrong terminal type.
Chris (the original poster ;), what terminal emulator are you using on the other side of the serial cable? What terminal type is it set to emulate?
I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8's Terminal.app, which claims to be vt100, through minicom. The bad display is probably Terminal.app's fault -- I'll try through an (Apple) xterm next -- but I was very surprised that arrow keys wouldn't work in ANSI mode.
FWIW, I mentioned that primarily as an indication that I might not have hit BootMgr, since I couldn't see what I was doing well. The more serious problems are package conflicts and nonworking boot code...
