17.17.3.2. console kernel boot parameter
Take the command described at TTY and try adding the following:
-
-e 'console=tty7'
: boot messages still show on/dev/tty1
(TODO how to change that?), but we don’t get a shell at the end of boot there.Instead, the shell appears on
/dev/tty7
. -
-e 'console=tty2'
like/dev/tty7
, but/dev/tty2
is broken, because we have two shells there:-
one due to the
::respawn:-/bin/sh
entry which uses whateverconsole
points to -
another one due to the
tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty
entry we added
-
-
-e 'console=ttyS0'
much liketty2
, but messages show only on serial, and the terminal is broken due to having multiple shells on it -
-e 'console=tty1 console=ttyS0'
: boot messages show on bothtty1
andttyS0
, but onlyS0
gets a shell because it came last
