-.SH BUGS
-Being able to set the console device to other than a
-display is marginally useful on file servers; MS-DOS
-and the programs which run under it are so tightly bound
-to the display that it is necessary to have a display if any
-setup or reconfiguration programs need to be run.
-Also, the delay before any messages appear at boot time
-is disconcerting, as any error messages from the BIOS
-are lost.
-.PP
-The declaration of a kernel parameter which is a prefix of
-previously declared parameters will delete the previous
-ones. If this is not desired, parameters should be given
-in shortest to longest order.
