I don't see that with serial console on ia64 or hppa.  I wonder if b-f
has simply failed to realise that it is running on a serial port.  From
dbootstrap/main.c

    /* Are we on a serial console? */
    if (ioctl(0, TIOCGSERIAL, &ser) < 0)
      /* Not on a serial console */
      serialConsole = -1;
    else {
      /* Serial console on ttySx */
      serialConsole = ser.line;
      INFOMSG("serial console found on line %d", serialConsole);
    }
