[parisc-linux] boot console wrong.

[Rod Smart]

    Hello list, long time no talk here.

    I have a C-180 and when in the Main Menu (booting) I have previously
setup the Console path to Serial, what input do I need to set it back to
normal console (Keyboard/screen) ?

    I have installed Debian through this console, and would like to play
with it the usual way now ;o)

Um ... "path console graphics" could be a good starting point. It 
probably tells you that "graphics" isn't a good path and shows a list of 
what could be, but that's almost as good.

Not sure though, I haven't had the chance to play with a C180, but that's 
what I do with the other Cxx0s.

"path console graphics(0)" sets the console to the built-in video on my
C180; graphics(x) (where x is the slot number as printed on the back of
the case) sets it to the video card in that slot...

Well ... yes. (I just had to set a B180L to mode 12 on graphics(0) 
manually from the serial console as that seems to be the only way to make 
it work with an A4033A with the usual 3-BNC cable.)

Now that I think about it ... I probably had to use pci(4) or some such 
once on a C360 but then again that one didn't have a built-in adapter.

Oh, and really, my Linux-running C240 still has the console on serial - 
_and_ X and a bunch of virtual terminals also available on the graphics 
card.

Slot 3 alone is single port.  Slot 3a would be port one of a dual monitor port card and slot 3b would be the second monitor port of that dual monitor port card.

    Thank you people ;o)

    The consol is now back to graphic card, and debian is loading further
than I have previously had it loading ;o)

    Just have to get gdm to run after configuring it.
