This isn't good, but I'm glad it's not just me having problems.

My machine has no frame buffer, and I'm using a NetBSD/i386 machine as the
serial console. If you want to catch the output, it might be best to remove
the framebuffer and use a true serial console.  (There's a way to set the
console device in the prom, but removing the framebuffer is easier than
remembering the command).

I have to "break" at this point (~# in 'tip').
