Alphas will show very limited information and take input from a '>>>'
prompt on non-console devices, but when an OS bootstrap takes over,
the output goes just to the the SRM's console device.
Are you typing on a serial console, or on a keyboard/monitor
(graphics) console? Make sure the value of the 'console' variable in
srm matches reality. Assuming you're using a graphics console, do
>>> set console graphics
>>> init
Then you should see more info from booting the CDs.
