Actually, this is not the kernel, but cttyhack from the busybox suite.
cttyhack currently forces the serial device to be named /dev/ttySn,
which is an issue on plateform where serial devices are named
differently.
The attached patch makes cttyhack scan the kernel command line in
order to get the correct serial device. This is another hack in the
hack, but it should fixes the issue for d-i.
