I'm curious about the "bootconsole" thing though. I've never seen that?

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? :|

If stdin/stdout is both failsafe/serial what are you looking at the keyboard
and display types for anyway?

"bootconsole" is a new one on me, I have always seen it marked with
device type "serial", and there has NEVER been a device in my device
tree *CALLED* bootconsole.. this is really weird to me indeed.

Is NetBSD modifying the tree at some point (ofwboot?) or do you see
these with 'ls' on the prompt?
