Description

This build option enables support for the default BIOS console.

Notes

Most BIOSes assume a US keyboard map. You can use the build option KEYBOARD_MAP to change the keyboard map used by iPXE.

The BIOS console is usually enabled by default. If you want to change the console usages associated with the default BIOS console, you will need to use #undef CONSOLE_PCBIOS before specifying your preferred usages. For example:

  #undef CONSOLE_PCBIOS
  #define CONSOLE_PCBIOS ( CONSOLE_USAGE_ALL & ~CONSOLE_USAGE_DEBUG )
