I got the CVS stuff and built grub and installed it on the machine.  I
did see -DSUPPORT_SERIAL=1 for some files, so I am assuming that
serial support in enabled by default.  I ran "./configure" and "make"
and "make install" and then used this grub to setup the system so that
the CVS grub version is used on boot.

Here is my session:

grub> serial --unit=0 --speed=9600

Error 27: Unrecognized command

grub> serial --unit=/dev/ttyS0 --speed=9600

Error 27: Unrecognized command

grub> terminal serial console

Error 27: Unrecognized command

I then quit grub and rebooted the system.  As before, the linux kernel
boots and I get the console messages on the serial port after the
linux kernel starts booting.  I should be able to get the grub shell
on the serial port, right?
