Last night I hooked up a monitor.. and set my next slab up to netboot.

Today I attempted to hook up a resistor and boot it without a monitor.  The
boot worked..  the last thing I see in syslog (forwarded) is:

Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11
Aug  4 14:40:41 sulafat savecore: no core dump (no dumpdev)

(my date is obviously wrong.. ;)

The machine is up.. responding to pings.. but I cannot access it at all.. It
seems to be hanging.  If I plug the monitor back it.. it works just fine.. 
What worries me is:

Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: nextkbd0 at intio0
Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: wskbd0 at nextkbd0: console keyboard
Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: nextdisplay0 at mainbus0: 1152 x 832, 2bpp
Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: wsdisplay0 at nextdisplay0: console (mono,
vt100 emulation)
Aug  4 14:40:46 sulafat /netbsd: wscons: wskbd0 glued to wsdisplay0 (console)

I don't have the serial port working yet.. I'm still fiddling with cables..

It seems to have made it at least partway through the boot process.. as all the
filesystems are mounted..  Am I missing something here?
