Hi Guys,

After a week of basically no progress, I need to bust out with some
bolder moves.  The two I'm thinking of are both in the console area.
Namely, get a bobcat with the alternative consoles wired up, and get
some PROM support for that.

PROM question: does the PROM support prom_console vectors?  Put
another way, is there a pair of PROM console input/output routines that
I can access from the kernel?  Supposedly there is or can be such a
thing with PMON, but trying to use it without knowing for sure that
it's there might be a bit too much fumbling in the dark.

Cheers,

a
