>When passed an argument of 0 upward, this command switches the console
channel to that channel number. The mapping between channel numbers and
physical channels is platform specific but will typically be something like
channel 0 is the first serial port, channel 1 is the second, etc.</P

to whatever channel receives input first, as happens when RedBoot initially
starts execution.</P
