Booting over serial port with -c

>Description:

I'm booting with the console on the serial port.

When I go into visual config mode, the system start's to print the
categories of active drivers.

Every time the cursor moves, it redraws the area where 
I/O port stuff would be (it just erases it with blanks) and
the bottom line(s) of the screen ("[Enter] Expand device list...")
This makes visual very slow to use on a 9600bps line.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run visual config on a slow terminal.
