Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 10 SP1 - ARCHITECTURE-SPECIFIC INFORMATION Specification page 49

As soon as the vt220 emulation is available, an icon for an integrated vt220 ASCII
console appears next to the icon for the 3215 console on the HMC/SE. Make sure that
you do not apply the changes as described above to a system that does not support vt220
terminal emulators. Otherwise, login might become impossible on this system and you
will be shown the following message:
INIT respawning too fast, disabled for 5 minutes.
To redirect the kernel messages at boot time from the system console to the vt220 ter-
minal, add the following entries to the parameters line in /etc/zipl.conf:
console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1
The resulting parameters line would look like the following example:
parameters = "root=/dev/dasda2 TERM=dumb console=ttyS0 console=ttyS1"
Save the changes in /etc/zipl.conf, run zipl, and reboot the system.
