Quite true :-)
However 'rm' is one of the few options which de diskless override does not
directly support (except for overriding it with an empty 0 byte file;
which is what I do now).
The alternative is setting 13 variables 'NO' or null. Which all is a wee
bit over the top; as very early in the script things are hardcoded to
just the syscon; without checking for presense.
kbddev=/dev/ttyv0
viddev=/dev/ttyv0
one could tie it to the pressense of a syscon or a single syscon
indicating variable:
if [ ! -e ${viddev} ]; then
exit 0
fi
or a $syscon_enable=YES; the first ties nicely into the new devfs
framework of course.
Dw.
