Services real mode BIOS calls to determine which disk
Note that using this driver in concert with efibootmgr requires
at least test release version 0.5.0-test3 or later, which is
available from Matt Domsch's website located at:
- http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz
+ <http://linux.dell.com/efibootmgr/testing/efibootmgr-0.5.0-test3.tar.gz>

config EFI_PCDP
bool "Console device selection via EFI PCDP or HCDP table"
use the first serial port it describes as the Linux console,
say Y here. If your EFI ConOut path contains only a UART
device, it will become the console automatically. Otherwise,
- you must specify the "console=ttyS0" kernel boot argument.
+ you must specify the "console=hcdp" kernel boot argument.
+
+ Neither the PCDP nor the HCDP affects naming of serial devices,
+ so a serial console may be /dev/ttyS0, /dev/ttyS1, etc, depending
+ on how the driver discovers devices.
You must also enable the appropriate drivers (serial, VGA, etc.)
