CONSOLE(4)           NetBSD/amiga Kernel Interfaces Manual          CONSOLE(4)


NAME

     console - amiga console interface


DESCRIPTION

     This release supports a ``virtual'' console device used for kernel printf
     messages and accessed in user mode via /dev/console.  It is virtual in
     the sense that it is attached to a hardware interface at boot time.  Cur-
     rently the choices are limited to: a bit-mapped display acting as an
     internal terminal emulator ``ITE'', the builtin serial interface ser(4),
     or a null(4) console in that order.


FILES

     /dev/console


SEE ALSO

     tty(4), reboot(8)


HISTORY

     The console device is currently under development.


BUGS

     You should be able to specify potential console devices at config(8)
     time.
