Done and done. Still the same issue. I'm chatting on IRC with Nathan
Whitehall about it, and we found a fix.

In the bootloader, it is necessary to set currdev=3Dultra0:10 (in OF
parlance this is ultra0:11 which leaves us up a certain creek without a
certain implement) ... and then boot.=20

I'm now in my comfy little root ttyv0 ready to get things rolling.
Anything more I should be aware of? :)

Thanks again for all your help. All of you.
