  Alas not :(

  I haven't looked into the ofw console crash for a while, but it's 
possible that it's either a) we're calling into open firmware with a 
virtually mapped stack, or b) the SPRG0-4 registers aren't being 
saved/restored during the call. NetBSD avoids both of those, though in 
theory a) should be OK.

  I'm hoping that the upcoming syscons kbdmux stuff will fix the early 
probe of the pretend Bluetooth usb kbd/mouse.

later,

Peter.
