Anyway, according to Documentation/serial-console.txt: "You can specify multiple console= options on the kernel command line. _Output_ _will_ _appear_ _on_ _all_ _of_ _them_ [emphasis mine]. The last device will be used when you open /dev/console. So, for example: console=ttyS1,9600 console=tty0 defines that opening /dev/console will get you the current foreground virtual console, and kernel messages will appear on both the VGA console and the 2nd serial port (ttyS1 or COM2) at 9600 baud." And that's exactly what I need. So, the syntax etc. might have changed, but shouldn't it be documented accordingly, then?
