Thanks Ken, you hit the nail on the head! With getty running only on tty01
things work fine w/ Booter 1.11.0. What is /dev/console BTW? I know
/dev/ttye0 is the Mac monitor.

Booter 1.11.3b3 doesn't work either with a serial terminal on my P460.
However, it *does* work on my IIsi w/ exactly the same setup (I'm booting
off an external drive).
