Thanks, this works.
Funny as it is, I wasn't able to throw a getty at the scif0 port
while the console was still on pvr. Also "echo bla > /dev/scif0"
blocked.
I could send something over the serial port with kermit after
disabling all handshaking. How would I do this with getty?

But later when the console was on the serial port getty worked
fine!???
