I think you mean GENERIC.local, since the BBB is only 32 bit.

There are two issues here: one is that removing the serial cable while the 
machine is running can cause the kernel to drop to the DDB prompt, which 
can be fixed with above, and the second issue, which the first might 
inform, which is that with no serial connection at all, the machine 
doesn't boot unattended.

If it does boot unattended with the above, then I'd wonder if 
initialization of the console causes something that the kernel then 
perceives to be break-like.
