I wrote "something like the following". If I select serial bootblock I
want to be able to login via serial console. The code was just the way
I made this possible. It worked for me, but I think that someone else
will find a better way for solving this 'problem', surley.

I don't know the real different between console and tty00.

Ok. But console or tty00 should set to 'on' when serial bootblock is
selected, IMHO.
