I don't know about hot swapping. I'm using TS7200, so what I may not fit your
7260. I have been able to swap console to com2 and don't get anything on com1
if I don't want it. 3 things have to be swapped to make this happen. (1)
is to add jumper to swap starting prompt to com2 (jumper 5 maybe? I can't
remember). Then at redboot startup script, (2) set console to ttyAM1.
Finally, inside
/etc/inittab, (3) comment out the getty on ttyAM0. Works for me...
Good luck,
Joe
