That's a good idea. (Mine was, ahem, reviewed first.) If you really
want to make a masterpiece out of something that may never run,
export something like

    int cnattached(void) { return cn_tab != NULL; }

from dev/cons.c and use the result to suppress the hit-any-key
message and the getc() return value test, maybe wrap the halt op,
perhaps void out your Palladium (err, NGSCB) authorization... :-)

Ahh, see /usr/share/misc/style, line 229.
