Quick question...
In register_console()
if (bcon && ((newcon->flags & (CON_CONSDEV | CON_BOOT)) == CON_CONSDEV)) { [[snip]] newcon->flags &= ~CON_PRINTBUFFER; }
So - when we are switching over from a boot console to a "real" console - we don't back up the console, and print everything out.
This means that the boot console is on a different device than that "real" console - you don't actually see the full boot message (from log_start) on the "real" console.
Is this what is intended (that the boot message gets split into 2 - 1/3 going into the bootconsole - and the remaining to to the real console?)
I can understand this when both (boot and real) are the same device (serial) or vga, but where they are not - it is a little confusing to the user - isn't it?
Thanks -Robin
