2.4.3. OS (BIOS) Console

If OS (BIOS) Console is chosen from the iSP Main Menu, I/O to/from the serial controller is

redirected as viewed from the OS (BIOS).

To return to the Main Menu, enter “^B” (press the B key while holding down the CTRL key).

While the OS (BIOS) Console I/O is redirected, the screen displays and operations depend

solely on the BIOS or OS that runs in that partition, and not on the iSPFW.

OS (BIOS) Console redirection is only allowed for the master iSP.
