3.6 Setting GFX 400 Card as the Console

(Optional)


This section describes how to configure the GFX 400 card to be
the console device for your system.

NOTE: If the procedure for your system is not described below,
please contact Tech Source, Inc.

3.6.1 GFX 400 Card as the Only Framebuffer


3.6.1.1 Ultra 5 and Ultra 10

The GFX 400 card can be configured to be the console device.
To do so, disable the on-board card on the Ultra 5 or 10. At the
"ok" prompt, type:

ok setenv pcib-probe-list 1,3

ok reset

Once the system is reset, all console messages will be directed
to the GFX 400 card.

NOTE: To restore the motherboard’s 8-bit graphics device as
the console for any reason, simply add it back to the
pcib-probe-list

as below:

ok setenv pcib-probe-list 1,2,3
ok reset
