Use this option to re-direct video and keystrokes
through the serial port to OS boot. This option
can interfere with non-terminal devices attached
to the serial port. In such cases, set this option to
disabled. This option is only supported in English
language mode when running in the UEFI
pre-boot System Utilities.
Use this option to select the emulation mode
type. The option you select depends on the
emulation you want to use in your serial terminal
program (such as HyperTerminal or PuTTy). The
BIOS Serial Console Emulation Mode must
match the mode you select in your terminal
program.
This is the transfer rate at which data is
transmitted through the serial port.
