Works fine.

Next problem:

	Characters entered on the console seem to quasi-randomly
repeated. I've attached the kernel probe output and results of my
attempt to enter a terminal type, followed by my entering a-zA-Z
(there was one typo in one of them, but note that most characters are
doubled).  To get it to accept "xterm" I had to enter each letter
multiple times and delete until finally it accepted the letter in question
as a single one.

Clues, how to debug, etc., would be appreciated.
