Interrupt the autoboot process and look at "in all". ttyS0-ttyS3 are enumerations of Serial devices that the linux kernel discovers when respective drivers are loaded. ttyB0 and ttyS<n> are just different drivers accessing the same HW - preferably not at the same time and that's why the kernel stops using ttyB0 later.
