How about just adding these lines to you file rc.serial:

# This sets up the port to whatever speed you want.
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 auto_irq skip_test spd_vhi # 115200

# This Display's serial device configuration
echo "Modem to computer speed set to 115200 baud"
/bin/setserial -bg /dev/ttyS0

Of course set ttyS0 to whatever port you are using.
