Well, this is my fault, I'm afraid. I am hacking a DECstation 5000/133
with serial console set. To keep the console detection code happy I
changed prom_getenv("osconsole") to prom_getenv("console") in
decststation.c. As a quick fix just change this back to
prom_getenv("osconsole"). I'll have a deeper look into that this
evening.
