CONS(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual (HP300) CONS(4)
NAME
consHP300 console interface
DESCRIPTION
This release supports a “virtual” console device used for kernel printf messages and accessed in user mode via /dev/console. It is virtual in the sense that it is attached to a hardware interface at boot time. Currently the choices are limited to: a bit-mapped display acting as an internal terminal emulator “ITE”, the builtin serial interface com(4), or a null(4) console in that order.
