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


Once the system is reset, all console messages will be directed
to the selected Raptor card.










3.5.2.1 Other PCI Framebuffers

To make the Raptor 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 Raptor’s slot before

that of the other framebuffers (in addition to making the changes
in 3.5.1, if applicable).

Determine the slot numbers that correspond to these
framebuffers, and then ensure that the Raptor slot number
precedes them in the

pcia-probe-list

.


For example, if the Raptor is located in slot 3, and a secondary
framebuffer is located in slot 1, then update the

pcia-probe-

list

so that slot 3 is probed BEFORE slot 1. A possible

configuration may resemble the following:

ok setenv pcia-probe-list 3,2,1,4
ok reset-all


Once the system is reset, all console messages will be directed
to the Raptor 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
