You "just" need to patch the "serconsole" global variable to be 0,
which I believe can be done with gdb or a hex editor. (ser0 is in the
INSTALL kernel)
The kernel compile-time option just switches the default value of the
variable, as seen in amiga/dev/ser.c
#ifdef SERCONSOLE
int serconsole = 0;
#else
int serconsole = -1;
#endif
