Console Redirection After Boot

[Brian A. Seklecki]

All:

What's the deal with this feature?  Was it intended to be used for any
relatively modern OS? 

It seems to work with DOS and Memtest86+, and perhaps then even some of
the bootable FreeDOS based utils available from Dell.

But forget about using it for anything that "does not use the BIOS for
console I/O."

All the Dell Linux docs I find suggest not using it; use the DRAC
VGA->VNC feature instead,  but Dell really bungled that with the new
DRAC5 and the ActiveX dependency (imagine that, an embedded Linux device
that serves an ActiveX applet -- the irony is painful)
