Re: default / fallback: suppress prompt?

[Joe LeKostaj]

I've remedied both this, and the case where going to the serial console 
caused a repeated "Press any key" prompt by removing a bit of code in 
builtins.c and cmdline.c in the stage2 directory.  In cmdline.c simply 
comment out the call to getkey() on line 194.  In builtins.c, remove or 
comment out all of lines 3948-3994 which starts with:

#ifdef SUPPORT_SERIAL
  /* If a seial console is turned on, wait until the user pushes any 
key.  */
  if (terminal & TERMINAL_SERIAL)

and ends with:

      /* Expired.  */
      terminal &= (default_terminal | TERMINAL_DUMB);
    }
#endif /* SUPPORT_SERIAL */
