  A harmless bug, same happens on macppc.

  That looks like the start of the copyright notice, garbled. A lot 
happens between the ddb lines and the copyright: would you be able to 
try a 'boot -v' which might give more of a clue as to how far it gets ?

  The OpenFirmware console hasn't worked for quite a while on macppc 
hardware: I think it was around the time I added an additional segment 
to the kernel's VM space, and ofw didn't seem to like that when calling 
back into it.

  Is there a serial port on the Pegasos ?

later,

Peter.
