Hi all,
   I'm reading the function ia64_init()<sys/ia64/ia64/machdep.c>, and try 
to use "printf" to output some information. But if I put "printf" before 
"msgbufinit()", I won't see any word I expect by using dmesg.

   In the same function after "cninit()", it comments: 
	/*
	 * Initialize the console before we print anything out.
	 */
	cninit();

	/* OUTPUT NOW ALLOWED */

So I have thought "printf" should work after cninit(). But now it seems to 
work only after msgbufinit(). 

   Is there any way I can output information before msgbufinit()?

Regards,
Annie
