The primary CPU prints a message indicating that it is running the console.
Starting with this message, the power-up display is sent to any console
terminal, regardless of the state of the console environment variable.
If console is set to graphics, the display from this point on is saved in a
memory buffer and displayed on the VGA monitor after the PCI buses are
sized and the VGA device is initialized.
➋ The memory size is determined and memory is tested.
➌
The I/O subsystem is probed and I/O devices are reported. I/O adapters are
configured.
