Note: timeout=0 works fine to force a console terminal when defaulting to
serial as console keyboard events are buffered by the BIOS. It is only when
the keypress has to come from the serial that timeout=0 do not work.
serial --unit=0 --speed=9600
terminal --timeout=0 console serial
And to aid impaired persons not having a infinite keyrepeat speed, a higher
timeout than 1 may be needed to reliably catch the keypress. A 1 second
timeout with 1 second precision is in the range 0-1 seconds.
