For the sake of anyone with a simliar problem that I experienced, I've
included a hackish patch for the zs.c file to get around the serial
console problem on SS2 rev 2.2 PROM systems running the 1.4.1 release.
 
This isn't a correct fix in that it doesn't address the problem at it's
source.  However, it'll generate a well behaved kernel that functions as
expected on other systems, but one that will default to using ttya as the
console when it can't find a valid console device.
