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







4.6.2.1 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 4.6.1, if applicable).

Determine the slot numbers that correspond to these
framebuffers, 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
