This is backwards. I _don't_ want to have the console on the firewire
port, I want/need it on the local keyboard/display (aka syscons)
console.

The firewire is just for on-demand debugging (hangs, panics, stuff), it
shouldn't interfere with normal usage.

Right now, I would need two kernel and a reboot in between to get the
desired functionality.
