Hmm... Perhaps not to get a serial _console_ (the >>> - Console),
but I could hook up a Monitor and set the machine to autoboot from esa0.
And as soon as the NetBSD Bootloader executes, NetBSD could redirect its
output to the serial console.
That's the way I'd like to have it :)
So I would turn it on (headless), wait a minute, and then see the NetBSD
Kernel output on my serial console.
That's the way I did it with my NetBSD/i386 box.
I just had to patch and re-compile the bootblocks, so that the box
switches to serial-console as a default, but now, I only turn on the box,
doesn't see (of course) the BIOS output, but the machine starts to speak
with me on the serial console as soon as the bootblock is executed.

Best Regards,
	Freddy
