|  | 14 | This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel |

|  | 16 |  | 
|  | 17 | This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very | 
|  | 18 | early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation, | 
|  | 19 | it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and | 
|  | 20 | doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here, | 
|  | 21 | unless you want to debug such a crash. |

|  | 27 | For most systems, it is firmware or second stage bootloader that | 
|  | 28 | by default specifies the kernel command line options.  However, | 
|  | 29 | it might be necessary or advantageous to either override the | 
|  | 30 | default kernel command line or add a few extra options to it. | 
|  | 31 | For such cases, this option allows you to hardcode your own | 
|  | 32 | command line options directly into the kernel.  For that, you | 
|  | 33 | should choose 'Y' here, and fill in the extra boot arguments | 
|  | 34 | in CONFIG_CMDLINE. | 
|  | 35 |  | 
|  | 36 | The built-in options will be concatenated to the default command | 
|  | 37 | line if CMDLINE_OVERRIDE is set to 'N'. Otherwise, the default | 
|  | 38 | command line will be ignored and replaced by the built-in string. | 
|  | 39 |  | 
|  | 40 | Most MIPS systems will normally expect 'N' here and rely upon | 
|  | 41 | the command line from the firmware or the second-stage bootloader. |
