       <note><para>
         In order to access the grub terminal over a serial connection an additional option must be added to a kernel definition to make that particular kernel monitor a serial connection. For example:
      <synopsis>console=<replaceable>ttyS0,9600n8</replaceable></synopsis>
-Where <option>console=ttyS0</option> is the serial terminal to be used, <option>9600</option> is the baud rate, <option>n</option> is for no parity, and <option>8</option> is the word length in bits.
+Where <option>console=ttyS0</option> is the serial terminal to be used, <option>9600</option> is the baud rate, <option>n</option> is for no parity, and <option>8</option> is the word length in bits. A much higher baud rate, for example <literal>115200</literal>, is preferable for tasks such as following log files.</para>
