Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG In LINT, there's an option flag for sio: # 0x20 force this unit to be the console (unless there is another # higher priority console). This replaces the COMCONSOLE option. What qualifies as a higher-priority console than sio1? Is the vid/kbd console higher priority? I want to set up a machine so that at boot it will automatically switch to a serial console when there's no keyboard plugged in. Do I even need this flag to do this?
