Use this entry as the console device for your desired GFX 400
card.

For example, if the path to the device "TSI,mko@#" is
"/pci@1f,4000", then type the following command:


NOTE: Replace ‘#’ with whatever your GFX 400 device
requires.

ok setenv output-device /pci@1f,4000/TSI,mko@#
ok reset

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

NOTE: To restore the default graphics device as the console for
any reason, simply set the output-device variable back to its
default value of screen as below:
ok

setenv output-device screen

ok

reset-all


3.6.2.1 Other PCI Framebuffers

To make the GFX 400 card the console device when other PCI
framebuffers are present in the system, it may be necessary to
change the pcia-probe-list to probe the GFX 400 slot
before that of the secondary framebuffer (in addition to making
the changes in 3.6.1.1, if applicable).

Determine the slot numbers that correspond to these
framebuffers, then ensure that the GFX 400 device slot number
precedes that of the secondary framebuffer in the pcia-probe-
list.
