I'll look into boot_multicons.

However, w/respect to "boot -D", I believe that would be after the menu, so is past the point at which we need the functionality (in drawing frames from frames.4th).

Also, you replied to an earlier e-mail in the thread, do note that there's an updated patch that centralizes the logic to "boot_serial?" function which returns boolean based on multiple conditions (currently takes $console and $boot_serial into consideration -- should be trivial to add a check for boot_multicons).
