-While this ''setconsole-speed-tty'' command is mostly intended for the board type of "geni586-serial" so as to support additional hardware without creating new board types, this command may also be useful for other board types.  For example, suppose you have both Soekris net5501 (19200 baud default) and PC Engines alix (38400 baud default) hardware and want a common terminal to as as a console.  The net5501 can have it's default console speed easily changed from it's BIOS.
