That's unrelated.  -P only does a very simple check to see if a keyboard is 
present.  Many systems with only USB keyboards would fail the check and end 
up sending their output to the serial console.  We could use -D though, that 
would let the user break into the loader and adjust console (or use boot -h) 
to force sysinstall to use the serial console.
