By 'console driver', do you mean a tty driver? That my my first
serious driver a *long* time ago. I'm thinking of something much
simpler like the keyboard driver. Not even that; rather, the
speaker driver that works via the console. I'm grepping around in
/usr/src/sys/dev/*.
I *will* find it, or wherever the code goes. It may take awhile.
