Subject: [9fans] access to console of consolefs server?

Suppose I have two machines in a computer room, a file server
and an auth server. I need (would like) remote console access to both.
So, I would run consolefs on the auth server. I understand how to
make the fs console available via the consolefs on the auth server.
Can I also  make the auth console available?
(my first thought was to make a loop from one serial port to another
 on the auth server, specify one as console in plan9.ini, and the other
 one in /lib/ndb/consoledb -- but then I won't have a console during
 boot... unless I just use a plain old terminal during booting -
 is that the trick?)



Thanks,
Axel.
