Ah, too bad. If there is anything I can do to help (don't expect too
much), please let me know. I can test patches and stuff.

Hmm, doesn't work here. I checked in OBP, input-device and output-device
are set correctly. I attached a keyboard, and my monitor. The keyboard
is recognized (to a certain degree) as I can power-on the machine from
it. Keyboard type 5c. And I don't get console output on ttya (which I do
get if there is no keyboard present).
However, my monitor never receives a signal, it just blinks with "no
signal" lamp. If it had received a signal (any signal) it would at least
have complained that the signal was outside acceptable values.

BTW, I can't find the man page for ofw_console(4). Do I need a newer
version than 5.3-BETA7 to get it?
