Subject: console=0 by default for the iso
To: 9front@9front.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

i'd like to have console=0 on by default in the cdrom plan9.ini.

my use case right now is in qemu, which can be started with a serial
line, but no graphic adapter like so:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom 9front.iso -nographic

this will connect the first serial line to qemu's stdin/stdout, but
you can't do anything because 9front won't send the kernel console
output there by default

any thoughts?
