in the
``foo''
or
``bar''
position.
When the console processor
is in control, a
`#>'
prompt is displayed. To continue execution
after halting the machine with
`~h'
,
use
`r'
- ~h

Halt the machine.
- ~b

- ~r
-

Refer to the Tahoe
console processor handbook for the complete list of facilities available
through the console processor.
The

device provides direct access to the console processor. The
remote
device is a secondary console terminal used for remote diagnosis;
it is normally connected to a modem.
