I've only ever gotten it to work when /boot.config looks like "-D - 
S115200".  I don't think you can merge the -S flag with the others,  
at least according to my read of the man page.

Also make sure the boot loader is at least as new as that installed  
by 6.0-REL. Older ones (ie from 5.x didn't work at all with -S for me.)

You will probably want to run "fdisk -B" to update that.
