PCONS(4)	     OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (SPARC64)	      PCONS(4)

NAME
     pcons - SPARC64 PROM console interface

SYNOPSIS
     pcons0 at mainbus0
     wsdisplay* at pcons?

DESCRIPTION
     The pcons device provides a simple text console, using the PROM services
     for input and/or output if no other driver handles this task.  It will
     use the PROM console devices set via the ``input-device'' and
     ``output-device'' variables.

     This driver is provided as a fallback console mechanism if the real
     console hardware can not be driven in OpenBSD.

FILES
     /dev/console

SEE ALSO
     intro(4), tty(4)

HISTORY
     OpenBSD support for the PROM console first appeared in OpenBSD 3.0.

CAVEATS
     If pcons handles console input, the PROM will handle break (or Stop-A)
     sequences before pcons.  The preferred way to enter ddb(4) on a ddb-
     enabled pcons console is then to enter the following sequence : `+++++'
