What do you want to do:
*)Switch from ARC to SRM
*)Boot from ARC ?
In the former, you don't need milo, in the latter you don't need to
rename it. If the console is on the serial port in SRM, you usually
just have to hit Enter a few times to get it also prompted on the
screen, I think
set console visual
will then put it permanently there (check the archives for the exact
command).
