Setting bootargs console=vt100

Hi,

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out earlier. I now have a bootable kernel and can NFS mount my filesystem. Next problem is getting something readable on my serial shell. For many good reasons I am not able to use minicom. The program I am using gives me something like the following as output from "ls":

@[1;34mbin@[0m @[1;34mdev@[0m @[1;34metc@[0m @[1;34mlib@[0m @[1;34mproc@[0m

I'm guessing that my terminal can't handle the escape sequences that are being used to format the output from ls. I know it can handle vt100 correctly. So, how do I force the shell on my ttyS0 to be vt100? Is it something like:

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8,vt100 ..

fed in to U-boot?

Thanks,

Richard.
