Subject:   What is a "higher priority console" in regards to sio flag 0x20?
Message-ID:  <3D447DB4.CA691B8@pantherdragon.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?
