G'day, I'd like to twiddle the Xen console stuff a little bit to make it easier to bootstrap a PVM. There's a couple of options I can think of: * Patch /etc/ttys to have a default "xc0" Xen console, but disabled (which makes it trivial for users / scripts to disable the syscons console and enable the xc console); * Modify the xenconsole driver to attach to ttyv0 (via a kernel environment variable) so /etc/ttys doesn't need modifying (but this may confuse tools that assumes /dev/ttyvX == syscons.) Opinions? I'd like to sneak in one of these before the release process begins for 8.0. Thanks, Adrian
