Hi all,

I've got an SS10 with a 501-2352 (50MHz) MBUS module, 4x16Mb memory, 
which fails to boot. The PROM has diag-switch? set to true, and it stops 
right after the "Mapping ROM" printout - if I recall correctly, "ttya 
initialized" should come after it on the serial. A replacement 501-2352 
didn't help, it sports the same issue.

Originally it had a cgsix in it, but I've taken that outB  - assuming the 
old knowledge that it's the keyboard check which decides where the 
output should go. Or is it possible that some nvram setting forces the 
output to go to the framebuffer?

Thanks,
