Gang,

The console initialization on alpha has been reworked to not require
the many alpha specific kluges in the various drivers (gfb, sio and
syscons). Consequently, one now needs the well-known hints that one
needs on other platforms for things to work. In particular, you might
want to add:
	hint.sio.0.flags="0x10"
	hint.sio.1.flags="0x80"

Without these hints you won't have a serial console.

FYI,
