SUMMARY: consvar and console flag
> Since the original posting I have tried several more things on the console

> I need to change console variables after the DU4.0D is booted. The console

> boot_osflags a". This works for all variables I need to change except the
> console variable. I can do ">>>set console graphics" but '#consvar -s
> console graphics" fails. And, in fact, the console variable is not listed
> when I do "#consvars -l". Do I need to set this with a different command
> or
> is it something that MUST be done before installation begins?
>
> I need to do this 'set' during a cloned installation (probably from the
> postload file).
