+is represented by /dev/console, and a low level console.
+The low level console is used for kernel printfs and debugger support,
+while the high level console is used by user programs like syslog.
+Multiple device support is implemented only for the low level console,
+the high level console is set to the first device in the console list.
+.Pp
+Multiple console support may be invoked by passing the kernel the
+-D
+flag from the boot loader, or by using
