c. Look at the symbols on the same line as the tagged console IOP (the console tag is the < symbol),
for the ECS symbol which is the + (the plus sign). If the + symbol is shown, the IOP is correctly
tagged for ECS. Go to step 9.

you might need this resource to debug the problem. When you get your new console choice working,
you can remove it from the system or move it to another location.
