Hi Matt,

  Early development was done with the OF console, but due to issues 
(maybe now fixed?) with the context switch to OF from FreeBSD, I 
abandoned it and went for a syscons framebuffer console made to look a 
lot like a PC.

  The OF console does still work if you boot under the gdb psim emulator.

  Not sure if telnet would work - FreeBSD is going to collide with 
access to the gem ethernet and also the decrementer interrupt.

later,

Peter.
