Please also try "printf() debugging". I'm seeing a similar but slightly
different error on my 2.01 system with -current kernels. I get the using
so many buffers containing so much memory line, then things die.

In my case, the interesting thing is I get this error with ofwboot 1.5,
but NOT with ofwboot 1.2! I'd been using an old version, and so I wasn't
seeing the problems.

Hmmm.... You aren't seeing the copyright. Not sure what to suggest as
that's printed right after the console's inited.

Take care,

Bill
