  It looks like the last round of changes for attaching the dc device broke
things.  The dcattach() routine used to only initialize the keyboard/mouse
ports if raster_console() returned true [presumably if the console was
using the keyboard/display].  The current version always tries to initialize
the keyboard/mouse unless the serial console is on line 0.  I'd guess you
don't have a mouse attached, so the MouseInit() routine hangs waiting
for a response from the mouse.

  I'm not sure what the correct check should be here.  As a temporary
workaround, you could comment out the MouseInit() call in dcattach() in
pmax/dev/dc.c.  That should get your system running.
