.SH BUGS
Being able to set the console device to other than a
display is marginally useful on file servers; MS-DOS
and the programs which run under it are so tightly bound
to the display that it is necessary to have a display if any
setup or reconfiguration programs need to be run.
Also, the delay before any messages appear at boot time
is disconcerting, as any error messages from the BIOS
are lost.
.PP
The declaration of a kernel parameter which is a prefix of
previously declared parameters will delete the previous
ones. If this is not desired, parameters should be given
in shortest to longest order.
