Speaking of hacks to the ss confinit(), here is a patch to enable
the use of a serial console on a sparcstation which has a monitor.
The comment explains what you have to do to take advantage of it.
You probably also need to say ``setenv input-device ttya'' and
``setenv output-device ttya'' to make the boot monitor use the
serial console...
