Ok, so I went and drug the monitor out of the closet (after buying a power cord
for it) and hooked it all up.

Machine would come up to the floppy disk with the blinking ? in it.  Odd, it's
supposed to have auto-boot? set to false.

Reset the machine, Option-Apple-O-F, goes to OF (since the serial console is
still hooked up it defaults to that, woot!) and see that the NVRAM settings
have been reset to default.

That is Very Odd(tm) since MacOS 9 is no longer on the disk (disk has been
partitioned for NetBSD and had newfs run everywhere) and not once had I reset
the nvram.

Ah well, now that i have that resolved, it is time to set this thing up to
netboot since i can't seem to write a friggin floppy disk that doesn't do a
READ TIMEOUT.

I hate floppies.
