| 14 | This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel |
| 15 | to print messages very early in the bootup process. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very |
| 18 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation, |
| 19 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and |
| 20 | doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here, |
| 21 | unless you want to debug such a crash. |

| 38 | help |
| 39 | For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that |
| 40 | by default specifies the kernel command line options. However, |
| 41 | it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the |
| 42 | default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it. |
| 43 | For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own |
| 44 | command line options directly into the kernel. For that, you |
| 45 | should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments |
| 46 | in CONFIG_CMDLINE. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command |
| 49 | line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default |
| 50 | command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon |
| 53 | the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader. |
