Folks...

I have just *seriously* re-worked how the console is probed on the 
hp300.  This is part of the long journey towards new config.  The goal 
here was to eliminate the need for the "hardware table" that was built 
before autoconfiguration.  It seems to be working ok on my hp319 and 
hp380.  Both of those systems have Catseye displays.

If someone with a serial console would like to test a GENERIC kernel for 
me, I'd really appreciate it.  This is pre-NFSv3 ... I'm hoping to update 
my local tree and get a binary snapshot out ASAP.  (I swear, I'm not 
ignoring you folks!  :-)

Attached below is that the boot messages look like on my 319 with the new 
console code...
