  It depends :-)

  If you are running with the PMAGB-EA as the console, then NetBSD has
just switched all console I/O to the serial port on scc1.  You need to
have a serial terminal connected to the serial port.  You can force
the machine to use the serial console with the 'console' environment
variable:
	>> setenv console "s"

  As to removing the PMAGB-EA, that will depend upon whether the card
is going to be generating interrupts that aren't masked.  I'm running
a 5000/260 with a PMAG-DA card present, and NetBSD happily ignores it.
I'm currently using a serial console, but I also have a PMAGB-BA card
present which I can use as a console when I need to.
