My console port just seem to have died on our 730 i.e. the line which
talks to /dev/console.  We have terminal ports galor.  What I would
like to know is there any way to redirect console input and output
to another port.  Where this is crucial is at boot time.  We don't
want to repair the DMF32 because we don't have any interest in throwing
good money after bad  i.e. the 730 is mostly a defunct machine.
The Vax 730 is running standard BSD4.3 Unix
