3.6.2 GFX 400 Card with a Secondary Framebuffer


The GFX 400 card can be made the console device when other
secondary framebuffers are present in the system.

To configure the GFX 400 card as the console when UPA based
device or other framebuffers are in the system, the output-
device

variable in NVRAM must be changed to the actual path

of the desired GFX 400 card. This path can best be determined
by searching for the string "TSI" in the / tree at the "ok" prompt.

For example, to find the PCI devices, at the "ok" prompt, type
the following:

ok show-devs

You should see at least one entry containing the string "TSI", ie.
"TSI,mko@#", where ‘#’ will be a digit representing the PCI slot
containing the GFX 400 card.
