Thanks Mike and Adrian for their suggestions, but no luck yet. I do
not have atkbd or atkbdc in my kernel. Remember: this kernel boots
fine over PXE :-/

This is the output that I see after going into the loader and typing
"lsdev", "show" and finally "boot". The jibberish halfway is boot0
that runs at 9600 baud. I also see a "bad bsdlabel" for the cfg slice
when I run this image in a VM; it doesn't seem to be a problem there.

Any suggestions? I will keep trying all the "-o nopacket" vs. CHS/LBA
in tinybios vs. 16/63 or 32/63 heads/sectors set in nanoBSD
combinations... But the kernel loads fine!!
