We need an absolute path to the serial@N device. It looks like some
kernels aren't reading the current path correctly, leading to no console
output.

I tested that this was the issue by removing the 30-add-offb binary from
a Garrison system and seeing that the regression we had in booting a
well known enterprise linux distro installer went away.
