I suspect it would be better if gettytab didn't request the baud rate
be changed for the console.
Editing files from sysinst is a PITA (can go badly wrong too easily).
I'm also sure I've used a serial console at a non-standard rate and
the stty 9600 got removed from one of the .profile scripts to make it
work - but my memory might be faulty!
