You can attempt to set CLOCAL on the port.  But it's going to be a race
between whatever application/kernel writes output on the console and your
workaround to set CLOCAL.

I'm guessing you will find that you won't be able to find a place in the
boot sequence to set CLOCAL before something writes to the console.  YMMV.
