unless it's a syntax/shortcut that i'm not aware of, i believe you need
to add either a bit more or a bit less to the append line.  per
http://www.vanemery.com/Linux/Serial/serial-console.txt it looks like
the default options are "9600n8".  so you might be able to get away with
"console=tty0 console=ttyS0".  otherwise i'd try spelling it all out
with "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8".  (if that still fails, might
be worth trying ttyS1.)

looks correct in and of itself, but i haven't tried this in fai.
