Ok, here it goes (more or less, typed by hand with the other monitor at
my side) :
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 2028k freed
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 320k init 40k pmac 8k prep
And a blinking cursor below that, keyboard works, but nothing else
happens.
