Comments/Problems:
The last messages shown are:
Detecting disks and all other hardware
Detecting hardware, please wait...2%
Loading module 'esp' for 'ESP SCSI'...
which is the right module for my disks.
The system has no keyboard, do not know if it is possible to switch
to other VTs. Tried some keys, no luck. Magic SysRq it not working,
sending a break takes me to the ok prompt.
Booting with BOOT_DEBUG=3 or 2 did not reveal anything more.
