Re: Z50 - "wsdisplay_console_initted < 2" panic on hpcmips HEAD

[David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost>]

Could you try booting
http://sync.absd.org/hpcmips/netbsd-2021-05-31-extra-output.gz

It should still panic with the double console attachment, but
hopefully may give more output (some DBGX lines) as it does
