System console bootstring

You can select the system console at boot time using the kernel.systty bootstring:


kernel.systty=cn
selects the main console (the default)

kernel.systty=sio
selects COM1 (/dev/tty1a) operating at 9600bps with no parity.
See the bootstring(HW) manual page for further details. You can also set these bootstrings as arguments to a defined bootstring in /etc/default/boot such as DEFBOOTSTR (see the boot(F) manual page.)
