This problem is strange. In my testing, serial console worked on
both ports (on my IIsi). We have no indication that there is any
difference between serial ports on any non-PowerPC models, except those
with only one serial port (in which case we don't really know what
happens).

For those having problems, does serial echo work? Also, look at the
variables passed by the booter to the kernel, and tell me what
the values for SERIALCONSOLE and SERIALECHO are.

Thanks!
