Yes, I am working on that. It will appear in my next CVS update.
I have tried many different versions, and it appears the one
that works the best is just a simple ask the questions version.
I tried to make it smart about processor versions, what you
are using for Ethernet, etc., and in the end the only one that
seems to work is asking the individual questions about how you
want ports configured.
I also have code for consoles on the SCC ports, and it needs a
little more testing. I have a board showing up this week that
should allow me to test that properly.

The console (as in /dev/console) is currently a symbolic
link to the appropriate /dev/ttySx. Should we change that to
be dynamically allocated?

Yes, but be careful we need to change the device nodes in the
file systems......
