[Xen-devel] [PATCH] user guide: clarify the example for Xen serial console
Add ''console=xxx'' to the Xen serial console section to make it
obvious
that one might need to specify ''console=xxx'' and not just
''comX=xxx''
if one isn''t using the default com1,vga.

One can also configure XenLinux to share the serial console; to achieve
this append ``\path{console=ttyS0}'''' to your module line.
