details). You can suppress all output by using the output driver
"none", which is available on all architectures.
+Some drivers support options. You list the options you want to use
+directly following the driver name, separated by commas. For example,
+to specify COM2 and a baud rate of 9600, you would use the option "-o
+serial,uart2,speed=9600". Note that spaces are not allowed (as spaces
+separate the arguments to laden). Which options are recognized
+depends on the driver.

+Serial output
+-------------
+
+The serial output driver supports options to configure the serial
+port. The following options are recognized:
+
+uart1 Select UART1 (aka COM1).
+uart2 Select UART2 (aka COM2).
+speed=BAUD Set the baud rate to BAUD. Possible values are 50 to 115200.
