So this is different to the Pegasos? *sigh*

With SmartFirmware 1.2 I got the following assignments for "name" and
"device_type":

console type: |    serial      keyboard/display
-------------------------------------------------
stdin name    |   failsafe       keyboard
stdin type    |   serial         keyboard
stdout name   |   failsafe       bootconsole
stdout type   |   serial         bootconsole
-------------------------------------------------

This is different for Efika? Or does it change with every SF release? :|
