Fair enough too. Tho I'm pretty sure I mentioned 1.4P and biosboot_com0.

If only I had a RAID controller to try.  It's awfully cute being able
to update BIOS screens in an xterm, though.  The update order is
bizarre, which makes me wonder if the EMP micro-conroller is doing
screen-scraping.  Guess I'll have to try the Adaptec setup, plus
whatever else I can wedge into the system whilst I';mn free to play
with it.

Aw, no fair. Cant you let us know which RAID controllers _do_ work
with serial-console-BIOS? That's  gotta be worth a beer...
