Is the same the Marcus console and the Hurd console? Yes.
Since nobody of the "old" timers seems capable of actually describing how to use the "new" console, I'll describe it here. A tip for these "old" timers, when describng something new to a user, also provide information on how to use "the thing", or where to get information on how to use "the thing". To start the new console do the following: console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs And voila, you have the new console, I'm assuming that Debian has a correct /etc/ttys file, and that /dev/vcs and friends have been created. If those files are not uptodate then you will have todo the following (you can check if they are uptodate by checking if the following lines exist in /etc/ttys). In /etc/ttys add the following lines: tty1 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty2 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty3 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty4 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty5 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console tty6 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console In /dev, create the following devices: ./MAKEDEV vcs tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6 and then do the following to install the correct terminal description: wget "http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/hurd/hurd/console/hurd.ti"; tic -x hurd.ti Now you should be able to run the new console with the coammnd that was noted in the begining of this mail.
