You can do that. You can also just enable VGA, PS2 (keyboard, mouse) and
just use that without dope or con.

 The option is
   -comspeed 115200 
 or
   -comspeed=115200

 Your version does not have any effect but does not harm because 115200
 is the default. Port 0 is also the default.

console=ttyS0 isn't going to work here as the L4-serial drivers is
called ttyLv0, so you need to write console=ttyLv0
Also, the 115200 doesn't make any sense with ttyLv0 as there's no
baud-rate involved.
