Not that I know but you could always set it to a non-existant tty (com1?), I
guess.
But that's not the problem here though...
I've tried it, and "set tty com1" didn't work. Not sure exactly what
happened but it didn't boot properly anyway.

This sounds like the BIOS is redirecting vga to the serial port and if that is
the case the only way to use the serial port is to disable the console
redirection in BIOS.

If the WRAP is using console redirection this wont help.
If it was possible to set the default console to "nullconsole", ie
discarding all console I/O, what other part of the system would write
(directly) to pc0?
