I think it's about time that we modify the boot loader *always* to
send output to the frame buffer and take input from the keyboard,
since I don't see any situation in which this could hurt. Additional
options should include:

    * also send output to and take input from a serial port
    * be able to set the `default' console (framebuffer or serial)
    * be able to change the default console to the `other' option,
      should that other one get input before the boot loader starts
      loading the kernel
