I believe... but am not 100% sure that the older OF versions (at least
what I'm using, 2.01f) can handle a pure ISO FS just fine.  It just
doesn't recognize the ISO versioning stuff by default.

Especially since you've gotten the virtual console stuff working 
(something NetBSD sorely lacks), I'm very interested in getting FreeBSD 
working on this machine :^)

Does syscons have the ability to use off the shelf VGA cards?  An
accelerated console would be very keen indeed (something else NetBSD
lacks).

Of course I've also run out of ideas at this point..
