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.
