hi, I think I found the solution to the "inittab doesn't get changed for serial console" problem.
utilities/dbootstrap/baseconfig.c:155: if (bootargs.console[5]==',') ttyspeed=atoi(bootargs.console+6); is dereferencing a NULL pointer (bootargs.console) when there's no "console=ttyXX" on the kernel command line. this crashes dbootstrap just before it can adapt the inittab. this bug only shows up if you've both got a serial console and don't give that explicitly on the kernel command line.
