Sounds like your terminal application is set to the wrong baud rate. 
38400, 57600 and 115200 are common defaults. Maybe mount the cf and have a 
look at the kernel commandline and /etc/inittab to find out which baud 
rate it's using?

Also, it's possible for the kernel to use one baud rate, then getty (which 
prints the logon prompt) switches to a different one. Again, check kernel 
commandline and /etc/inittab.
