	I have been playing with NCRs version of System V release 3
	on a Tower 32/650. I changed the CONSOLELESS paramater in the
	kernel to a 1. My question is: What does changing the CONSOLELESS
	paramater to 1 do for me? The Superuser Guide is very vague about this.
	The messages still appear on the console ( I tested this by running
	a filesystem out of space ).

	Our current systems are based on Sys V rel 2 and often our machines
	get hung when the system wants to write the console which was switched
	off by some energy concious individual.
	I realize we could fake the leads to the Tower using a special console
	cable. But I was hoping that the CONSOLESS parameter in System V rel 3
	would do the trick. Must we purchase some additional HW/SW from NCR?
