Hey gang,

I have a strange piece of 486 hardware here that has two ISA slots, and
no onboard video.  I have an ISA VGA card in there right now, but I'd
like to remove it, making a headless machine.  The only problem is that,
to the best of my knowledge, netbsd now complains that there is no
console configured, since there's no serial onboard, either.  I gathered
this from a coredump left by the panic().

Is there a way to get around this lack of a console?  Shall I write a
driver that basically uses /dev/null for the console?  

Thanks for your help!
