 Hi,
  I've been trying to put an old i386 to gateway for my upcoming dsl,=20
  and it has to run headless and without a gfx board. However; when
  I boot it with a gfx board, it runs just fine, but without it, it
  fails to come up far enough that it would answer ping. I can hear
  it load the kernel from the floppy, and the zip drive (which is root)
  spins up. (Don't ask, I've only spare parts to work with :-)

  So now, is this something connected to wscons perhaps? What else
  could make it not boot when without a gfx board?
  Would I need options SERCONSOLE?

 Regards,
