Yep, apparently you can't overwrite bootenv.rc settings with
"-B property=value", since direct boot was integrated (<= snv_60)
and before the fix for 6520287 "Serial console redirection ignores
 ttyX-mode with direct boot" got integrated (snv_64).

Yep, using the two workarounds from 6534878 it was possible to install snv_60
into a domU running on a linux box.
