-
-For the average user a serial console has no advantage over a console offered
-by a directly attached keyboard and screen. Serial consoles are much slower,
-taking up to a second to fill a 80 column by 24 line screen. Serial consoles
-generally only support non-proportional ASCII text, with limited support for
-languages other than English.
-
-There are some scenarios where serial consoles are useful. System administration
-of remote computers is usually done using :ref:`ssh`, but there are times when
-access to the console is the only way to diagnose and correct software failures.
-Major upgrades to the installed distribution may also require console access.
-
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set system console device <device>
-
- Defines the specified device as a system console. Available console devices
- can be (see completion helper):
-
- * ``ttySN`` - Serial device name
- * ``ttyUSBX`` - USB Serial device name
- * ``hvc0`` - Xen console
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set system console device <device> speed <speed>
-
- The speed (baudrate) of the console device. Supported values are:
-
- * ``1200`` - 1200 bps
- * ``2400`` - 2400 bps
- * ``4800`` - 4800 bps
- * ``9600`` - 9600 bps
- * ``19200`` - 19,200 bps
- * ``38400`` - 38,400 bps (default for Xen console)
- * ``57600`` - 57,600 bps
- * ``115200`` - 115,200 bps (default for serial console)
-
- .. note:: If you use a USB to serial converter please note that most of them
- use software emulation without flow control, thus you should start with a
- common baud rate of 9600 as otherwise you could get
