CONS(4)               OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (HP300)              CONS(4)

NAME
     cons - HP300 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 (grf(4)) acting
     as an Internal Terminal Emulator (ITE), a serial interface (apci(4) or
     dca(4)), or a null console, in that order.

FILES
     /dev/console

SEE ALSO
     apci(4), dca(4), grf(4), intro(4), ite(4), tty(4), reboot(8)

BUGS
     It should be possible to specify potential console devices at config(8)
     time.
