CONS(4)              NetBSD/hp300 Kernel Interfaces Manual             CONS(4)

NAME
     cons -- HP300 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.  Cur-
     rently 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.

FILES
     /dev/console

SEE ALSO
     com(4), tty(4), reboot(8)

BUGS
     You should be able to specify potential console devices at config(1)
     time.
