No. The 'console' entry is just a marker. By "remote console" I presume you mean "serial console". The easiest way to get a serial console is to put "-P" into /boot.config and unplug the keyboard. (For other ways, see boot(8) and sio(4)). In order to enable logins on a serial console, you will need to turn on the getty for ttyd0. -- Peter Jeremy
