Eh, I'm aware of what I'm talking about...

Anyway, I'm also aware of the difference between a multiprocessing OS and a
simple bootloader... I wasn't suggesting having the consoles work
simultaneously. Instead, I thought more of the grub way, ie. wait for input on
any console and once retrieved input on one, do not work interactively on the
others (or at least on all other serial). Admitedly, I haven't tried this out
on grub with more than one serial console attached to the booted machine.
