[Bug 1317651] Re: ppc: VM hangs on first boot after network install

[john.d at servergy.com]

Looking more at this, it appears the device should be automatically
configured:

[root at ab763 init]# cat serial.conf
# Automatically start a configured serial console
#
# How this works:
#
# On boot, a udev helper examines /dev/console. If a serial console is the
# primary console (last console on the commandline in grub),  the event
# 'fedora.serial-console-available <port name> <speed>' is emitted, which
# triggers this script. It waits for the runlevel to finish, ensures
# the proper port is in /etc/securetty, and starts the getty.
