I've tried the 3 MMJ ports, and even the DB-25 modem port, but there
is no response from any of them after the kernel load finishes. Are
there any special requirements for the console? (I am using a VT220
terminal emulator running at 9600/8/N/1).

I have also tried booting from floppy (RX23, 1.4MB) using the 
'boot.fs' image but that gave me a stack trace. I have included
the 'sh ver' and 'sh dev' output below along with the floppy boot
stack trace.

If the netbooted kernel is running, but I just can't see the
console, what additional entries would I need in /dev to be
able to start the network (there is only an entry for the 
console at present).


Thanks,
George
