The typical/default setup on suns is: if keyboard is attached at reset/power
up time, it will become console.

If you explicitly set firmware to use serial console even though the keyboard
is installed, I'd think you don't want the power button on the keyboard
to shut your machine down either.

This might be worth a sysctl or compile time option, but is a pretty rare
corner case, so I'd leave it as it is now.
