System Console Selection
Each operating system requires that the correct console type be selected from the firmware
selection menu. The following section describes how to determine the correct console device.
If an operating system is being installed or the system configuration is being changed, you must
check the system console setting to ensure it matches the hardware and OS. Not checking the
console selection can result in the system using an unexpected device as a console, which can
appear as a system hang when booting.
