Ok, so the multia progress is getting further then before, however, it
appears syscons isn't TGA friendly.  So, I switch to serial in the hopes
that it would make a difference. It didn't.  

I did notice Doug saying there was no TGA support at all currently so this
isn't to suprising, however, being that a large ammount of alphas
currently come with TGA cards, is it possible to put in some simple,
possbly just puts() to get text data moving through?

In the off chance that I'm wrong and this machine should be getting
further then it is, heres my boot squence, first without -v and then a
snip of the boot with a -v...
