I reread the thread a little more carefully... are we talking about the fake boot firmware itself? If so, then ConsoleFirmware is fine with me.
If we're talking about the boot console device that the firmware provides (or the file that records the I/O that happens through that device) then something like FirmwareConsole is better. Originally I thought it was the latter case, but on rereading the thread I see that you are actually referring to the former... right?
