...adding "boot:cdroom" helps, for systems that have bootable CDs.

MHz is claimed to be about 2.5MHz, but I don't think that it is getting
a valid realtime clock.  I can see it loading the NetBSD kernel...

I think that I'll install NetBSD on this thing and see how that plays
at least.  (It seems to stall after complaining about no /dev/console;
pushing a key makes it restart and go into "creating mfs /dev".  I'm
not sure if it is still doing anything, or stuck again.  (sigh))
