答复: Two console in com1 and com2 in

[YhLu]

Thanks,

Current our Server Management Daughter card (SMDC or IPMI card) is using
COM2 on MB to do Console redirection via LAN. So If using LinuxBIOS, I also
hope the user use COM1 for on site Console using if he he wants.

Regards

YH

Etherboot would need similar modifications but it can support two
consoles as well.  What would be the gain in having two serial consoles?
