>Description:
	The sparc boot program will not let you enter a '@' in the device line
	- it just prints a newline.
	Also break has no effect on a serial console (which is a little
	irritating when you've just encountered the above problem & have
	mangled the device line :)
	Also - it would be nice if you could enter '*' to get a list of all
	files in the root directory...

>How-To-Repeat:
	Use the sparc boot code & get stuck when you're using a remote console
	via a spiderport :)
>Fix:
	...
