    Marcus' original announcement included this typo, IIRC.

    No it didn't. Marcus wrote "/dev/vts".

    Could someone (Jeff?) add some small snippet when running
    native-install about the new console?

    I think just pointing out the command should be enough, as it works out-of-the-box, and as Marco said, the Hurd console will be run by
    default at some point (mostly pending that linkref bug I guess)

    How about this:

    (the Debian package which will be installed by crosshurd includes
    Marco's kbd repeater, X won't work if you do not specify
    --repeat=dev/kbd)


    cheers,

    Michael
