I tried to boot an AlphaStation 255/300 from the graphic console a while
ago using 1.4.1 boot floppies. The boot process worked fine almost until
the very end but froze totally after the attachment of mcclock. I didn't
have a serial console anywhere handy.

Veego suggested that I should try using a -current bootfloppy to see if
the problem had been fixed there. Sure it did boot fine from the graphic
console without tweaking any SRM settings.

I would like to know if this change has been pulled up to the
release-branch and will it therefore be available in 1.4.2? And if
someone happens to know what the fix actually was, I wouldn't mind
hearing about the either ;)
