+         This option enables special console drivers which allow the kernel
+         to print messages very early in the bootup process.
+
+         This is useful for kernel debugging when your machine crashes very
+         early before the console code is initialized. For normal operation,
+         it is not recommended because it looks ugly on some machines and
+         doesn't cooperate with an X server. You should normally say N here,
+         unless you want to debug such a crash.
