Hi,

I've been trying to get my alpha to boot using a serial console without much
success lately. The SRM console talks to the serial port fine, but as soon
as I issue the "boot dka0" command the kernel goes off and stops emitting
output (presumably expecting a VGA card). The box pings fine afterwards, but
I have no means of logging in remotely since I have yet to make any accounts
on it, and so I've got this silly chicken-and-egg problem here. =) How can I
force the kernel to boot single user and output to the serial port instead
of looking for a VGA card? There is currently no VGA card in the system at
all.

thanks,
Edwin
