Thank you both for the helpful feedback. My post section does a number of things before ever letting the system boot. My desire was to see some progress messages on the console while that process was working. Such as "reached point x", "reached point y". The display of them to "/dev/console" wasn't very pretty and attempts to clean it up hasn't proven successful. Was hoping someone has also done this and found a way to have lines of text display neatly.
