Scott,

That was it.  I'm up and running over a serial console now. Thanks!

So here is the next question, I had "media ethernet" in
/etc/ifconfig.sq0
but I kept getting a message about incorrect media, and no networking
was enabled.  I changed it to "10BaseT" but the problem persisted.
Since I already have a dhcp server set up, I turned on dhcpclient
on the Indy inside of rc.conf.  after that, I get an infinitely
repeating message:
sq0: transmit underflow
sq0: transmit underflow

... and at that point I have to reset.
What documentation is available for the sq0 driver?

Thanks,

Robert
