No, I didn't write the extra "1", but it seems not to be mandatory to
write the complete options, as said in the kernel documentation, the
default is 9600n8

http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt#514

I will try with the extra 1 anyway, but I don't think that that can be
the problem.
