if there is a console variable in the u-boot environment and not one on
the append line from syslinux config add what is in the environment to
the bootargs.

This is necessary to allow distros to have a single extlinux/extlinux.conf
file which will work on multiple boards, even if these boards have different
consoles (e.g. ttyS0 vs ttyAMA0).

diff --git a/common/cmd_pxe.c b/common/cmd_pxe.c

I know you rejected this afterwards, but since I read the patch before the reply, a couple of comments for anyone who finds this code in the archived and wants to copy it:

+       char console[30] = "";

-       if (label->append)
+       if (label->append) {
                len += strlen(label->append);
+               /* If no console in append and $console is set, use it */
+               if (!strstr(label->append, "console=") && getenv("console")) {

This would get a false positive match for the text fooconsole= in the existing command-line. It might be better to strtok() (or similar) the existing value, so it can guarantee to match only options that start with console= not that contain console=.

+                       sprintf(console, " console=%s", getenv("console"));

This should check for buffer overflows, e.g. use snprintf().
