The lock doesn't go away when you hard wire the serial console. It's a
generic serial console problem. I did the comments to get the system up
and running (it doesn't have a "real" console) and to find time to attack
the real bug. It's a workaround, not a solution.

Yes, ok, if you know it's BREAK they are talking about you'll find out
what the abreviation means ;-) The translation is correct, but everyone
I know uses the english names for technical terms like this.
