Serial console != headless.

Maybe NetBSD has broken it in recent years, but it certainly used to be
possible to boot a machine with serial console even if it has keyboard
and framebuffer, and I've even run X on a machine booted that way (I
just now tried it and it worked fine).  So, if it doesn't work in
modern NetBSD I'd call that a (moderately serious) regression....
