PandaBoard: Serial Port login support

[raumzeit]

I obtained a pandaboard some days ago and could not get any login via serial console

You need to change instances of ttyS0 to ttyO2 (capital letter o, 2) in /etc/inittab and /etc/securetty

In /etc/inittab change:
s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 115200 ttyS0 linux
to:
s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty -8 -s 115200 ttyO2 linux

In /etc/securetty change:
ttyS0
to:
ttyO2

Step by step guide. It's been there for quite some time.

I'm aware of the rootfs issue. I'm building an updated version soon.

I'd imagine fstab would be the appropriate place. It should always show up in the system as /dev/mmcblk0p1 so that part's easy. Personally I mount the fat partition to /mnt and copy in /boot/uImage when I make new kernels, though setting up fstab would definitely make the process more seamless. I can play around with that too and see if there is a good solution. Shouldn't need to use udev for it.
