26: .SH NAME
27: cons \- HP300 console interface
28: .SH DESCRIPTION
29: This release supports a ``virtual'' console device used for kernel
30: .I printf
31: messages and accessed in user mode via /dev/console.
32: It is virtual in the sense that it is attached to a hardware interface
33: at boot time.
34: Currently the choices are limited to:
35: a bit-mapped display acting as an
36: .I "internal terminal emulator"
37: (ITE),
38: the builtin serial interface (dca),
39: or a ``null'' console in that order.
40: .SH FILES
41: /dev/console
42: .SH "SEE ALSO"
43: tty(4), reboot(8)
44: .SH BUGS
45: You should be able to specify potential console devices at
46: .I config
47: time.
