Linux 2.6-10.rc3 8xx kernel booting - how to set baud rate for t he serial driver ?

Hi,

My bootloader uses 115200 baud rate for the serial output during boot
strapping.

Then, during Linux 2.6-10.rc3  8xx kernel booting - how to set certain baud
rate for the serial driver ?

When init_consoleI( ) is called - at what baud rate the 8xx serial driver is
getting set ?

Currently I am have:
CONFIG_SERIAL_CPM_CONSOLE
in my .config 

Is there a way to set (force) the baud rate in the .config (or by other
means) to be in effect for the kernel booting ?

Thanks,
Best Regards
