I suppose, but I don't know how to do that.  And although that would technically
answer the question in the subject of this thread, I still would have *some*
boot output on the serial port.  It would be nice if I could get all of stdout
on the video display, and all of stdin from the serial port.

getty appears to work only with serial devices, since it insists on a baud rate
as one of the parameters.
