Jan, thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, your suggested parameters do not
solve the problem.

I am not sure if it is a problem of the serial connection itself (regarding
speed or port), at least I can see the bootstrap loader output, the "GELI
Passphrase:" etc. The connection also works (sort of) bi-directional, because I
can use boot options in beastie loader. However, e.g. reboot only works when
pressing "4<Enter>", vs. only "4" on the direct console.

Interesting fact regarding the animated pre-kernel GELI prompt: On the direct
console, each keystroke animates the bar (/-\|). Via serial, characters do not
produce this animation, but only <Enter> does. Is this a hint?

The old/late (post-kernel load) GELI per-disk prompt can be used via serial
without problems.
