Serial terminals? People familar with other platforms / hardware than i386 are usually familiar with serial terminals. Not only is this the most general way of doing useful work whenever a new operating system is in its infancy on a new platform, it is also a reliable and easy way to get debugging info "out" of the platform when needed. I find that people with only experience from the i386 platform, and no experience with serial terminals are the odd ones. Just my 0.02$. -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
