I had to enable console over serial in raspi-config. Now I get garbage characters when the login prompt shows up ..

I'm trying to use an USB TTL cable to log in from a Mac without much success. This is the cable: https://www.m.nu/serial-cable-debug-console-cable-p-636.html I've connected the red wire to 5V+ , black to GND, and then tried white and green both ways.
