No. A "console" in UNIX speech is just a terminal, save for that it is attached directly (no network in between) to the system. One common security feature is to allow root to directly login only through the console, so that logging in directly as root needs a physical access to the system in question. So, the console is like the "main" terminal, but in every other regard it is just like any other terminal.

Well, look here:

The graphics adapters that were there once are simply not there any more. Either they are both broken and the system cannot configure them even so much that they are recognized (one might have become dysfunctional that way but two at the same time is improbable) or they have been removed from the system. Delete these devices (rmdev) and run cfgmgr and i suppose they will not resurface. "Defined" means the defiitions for the adapter are still in the ODM but the device isn't there any more. It it would be then it would be "available".

This seems to be a rather old hardware (i remember having two GXT135P adapters in a R/6000 Model 43P-140), so it should have a serial connector. Attach a serial console to it and start with that. Note that at some point (i don't remember exactly when) the serial characteristics went from 9600, 8,1,N to 19200, 8,1,N, so if you have no luck with 9600 baud try 19200.

I hope this helps.

fs_messages

FS_MESSAGES(1)						       AFS Command Reference						    FS_MESSAGES(1)

NAME

       fs_messages - Sets whether the Cache Manager writes log messages

SYNOPSIS

       fs messages [-show (user|console|all|none)] [-help]

       fs me [-s (user|console|all|none)] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The fs messages command controls whether the Cache Manager displays status and warning messages on user screens, the client machine
       console, on both, or on neither.

       There are two types of Cache Manager messages:

       o   User messages provide user-level status and warning information, and the Cache Manager directs them to user screens.

       o   Console messages provide system-level status and warning information, and the Cache Manager directs them to the client machine's
	   designated console.

       Disabling messaging completely is not recommended, because the messages provide useful status and warning information.

OPTIONS

       -show (user|console|all|none)
	   Specifies the types of messages to display. Choose one of the following values:

	   user
	       Send user messages to user screens.

	   console
	       Send console messages to the console.

	   all Send user messages to user screens and console messages to the console (the default if the -show argument is omitted).

	   none
	       Do not send any messages to user screens or the console.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command instructs the Cache Manager to display both types of messages:

	  % fs messages -show all
