Thanks... I just bouth a usb serial adapter from Conrad ("USB Modem
Adapter", Nr. 982417) and now i can see the boot messages.
I already had tried it with a second machine (Tyan mainboard) which
also did not work. But now it's fine. :)

I followed the steps in the wiki, e.g. run
"bs11_config -p /dev/ttyS0"
and then turn on the BS-11. The green power LED on the BS-11 is solid
green. But i do not get any output from the bs11_config (e.g. no
booting messages, etc). :-(
You should start bs11_config after turning on the BS-11, as it tries to
login to the BS-11 as the first step. I usually start the BS-11, wait 2
minutes and then start bs11_config.
Sometimes bs11_config segfaults when i switch on
the power to the BS-11:
Because it receives the initial spikes on the serial line as "garbage"
and tries to interpret them. Just don't do it in this order.
The serial cable is connected to the serial port
(1 of 4) which is
closest to the antenna connectors (like i have seen it on the photo).
That is the right connector.
If the communication does not work when you start bs11_config after the
BS-11, try a serial to usb adapter. I had no success with the normal
serial ports on two different machines, but a (FTDI) serial converter
worked at once. See also:
