To enable Crystalfontz serial LCD on serial1:
[admin@Wandy] system lcd> set type=crystalfontz
ERROR: can't acquire requested port - already used

[admin@Wandy] system lcd> print
enabled: yes
type: crystalfontz
serial-port: serial1

As You see, the first try to set LCD type failed because it wanted to use serial0 (that is commonly
used for Serial Console) by default.
