When I've used serial consoles on Sparcs that don't have a screen or
keyboard plugged in, I get that message to.

If I intend to continue to use the serial port as the console, I set the
following in the PROM to stop the warnings:

	input-device            ttya
	output-device           ttya
	screen-#rows            24
