nios serial console & kernel parameters?

Hi,

Could someone point me in the right direction for modifying kernel paramerter to redirect console=ttyS? I dont see where to do this in configure.bat. Do I have to change to a different boot loader than what comes with the Windows Nios Eclipse IDE?

I recompiled the kernel with support for console on Nios UART

and

changed inittab

ttyS2:vt100:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyS2

ttyJ0:vt100:/bin/agetty 115200 ttyJ0

But when connecting to the ttyS2 port through hyperterminal with proper settings of 115200, 8, n, 1; agetty loops uncontrollably asking for User ID and PW

Logging in from ttyJ0 works fine, but would anyone know why agetty trips out on the nios serial port, even when I'm not sending any characters; Captured text below.
