Hmm... seems that there was a miscommunication at some point, and the
menu is disabled explicitly on serial boots. console="comconsole" is
enough to disable this in lualoader land. An excerpt from an e-mail I
was forwarded regarding this:

if $console contains (space or comma separated) "efi" then do
not draw a menu (fall back to autoboot routine).

if $beastie_disable is set to "YES" (case insensitive), then do not
draw a menu (fall back to autoboot routine).

We are clearly doing this wrong. I will fix it ASAP.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
