  I experience the same thing with either com0 or com1, unless I
remove the pc0/vt0 from the kernel config file. I hate this, and wish
we could steal a byte in the CMOS eeprom to tell things where to boot
from. 
  Probing for a keyboard from the boot code is a bit hairy, and then
you have to communicate that you found something to the kernel, and
many people like their systems to boot even though there is no
keyboard attached.
  Is the "turbo" switch readable? Does it do anything anymore? We
could change the label to "diag" ...
