Different behaviour.

* pxelinux.0:
  After TFTP load of pxelinus.0, spits out gibberish for ~1 minute
  (as though it had set an incorrect default serial port speed),
  then loads config and switches back to correct baud rate.
  "Hello world" displays just fine; however since your test config takes
  no user input, I can't say whether the serial connection works in
  the other direction. (With my previous Clonezilla menu it seemed to
  still not receive anything).

* lpxelinux.0:
Interesting, does not freeze anymore apparently. Gibberish after
loading; if I switch to 115200 bps then I see it's actually in an
endless loop of:

Does not seem to reach "hello world" though.
