As already noted, use /dev/tty0. ttyS0 is serial port login.

No. I define console as where the *firmware* sends output
when booting. Linux attempts to respect the firmware settings.

You can have a serial console and a gfx login prompt.
And vice versa. It's a matter of setting CONSOLE paths
at the PDC prompt and setting up gettys' in /etc/inittab.
