Description

https://github.com/osresearch/heads/blob/e62362ddcc6b0ea295b138c91c0b99805714ea13/boards/kgpe-d16/kgpe-d16.config#L27

That line could also add standard terminal by adding `console=tty0`
@flammit What do you think?

For some reason, reflashing OpenBMC disabled it. Will dig into it, but meanwhile, I needed this.

Research direction

Read boards/kgpe-d16/kgpe-d16.config around line 27 and review the existing discussion first. Verify whether the standard terminal is available until the dom0 kernel boots after reflashing OpenBMC. Done means deciding whether console=tty0 belongs in this configuration and documenting or applying that choice.
