I tried both with and without graphics console, and without it it uses
a serial console and freezes.  With it, it uses the graphics console
and freezes.

A DEC man seemed to think it may be a problem with the RRD42 since the
system was specced for an RRD40.  But TK70 is also supposed to work,
IFF I can get the right switch settings on the TKQ70 board.

These machines are rather scarce beasts, and noone remembers anything
about them anymore.
