83 bus while maintaining backward compatibility with cards made for
84 the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and

474 If you like to use the MFP serial ports ("Modem1", "Serial1") under
475 Linux, say Y. The driver equally supports all kinds of MFP serial
476 ports and automatically detects whether Serial1 is available.

478 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here.

480 Note for Falcon users: You also have an MFP port, it's just not
481 wired to the outside... But you could use the port under Linux.

597 If you say Y here, it will be possible to use a serial port as the
598 system console (the system console is the device which receives all
599 kernel messages and warnings and which allows logins in single user
600 mode). This could be useful if some terminal or printer is connected
601 to that serial port.
602
603 Even if you say Y here, the currently visible virtual console
604 (/dev/tty0) will still be used as the system console by default, but
605 you can alter that using a kernel command line option such as
606 "console=ttyS1". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
607 your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
608 kernel at boot time.)
609
610 If you don't have a VGA card installed and you say Y here, the
611 kernel will automatically use the first serial line, /dev/ttyS0, as
612 system console.
613
614 If unsure, say N.
