Additional Notes on Console Selection
HP-UX makes decisions based upon the EFI Boot Maintenance Manager
menu's Select Active Console sections to determine where to send its
output. If the incorrect console devices are chosen, HP-UX may either
fail to boot, or will boot with output directed to the wrong location.
Therefore, any time new potential console devices are added to a system,
or anytime NVRAM on a system is cleared, console selections should be
reviewed to ensure that they are correct.
More information on the EFI Paths used for console selection can be
found in Intel's Extensible Firmware Interface documents available from
their web site.
