	I must admit that I didn't look into the kernel's code,
but it seems that having:

SERIALECHO=0xFF
SERIALFLAGS=0x1

caused the boot to hang near the getty stage. I didn't bother looking
further, since the conditions that caused the error were the Booter's
(i.e. my) fault.


P.S. (Belated) Congratulations on the doctorate.
     Should I to change all the references to your name
     in the Booter and Booter Manual to Dr Bill Studenmund ? :-)
