[B]ooting off the CF (using boot0sio), the input 'screwy'

from the boot (i had no kernel in the slice), the input is usually
doubled:
        sshooww instead of show
which is probably similar to what is happening with boot0sio but it
only echoes # (the current bell).


I've seen this happening when the BIOS also tries to talk to the serial port at the same time. Try changing the BIOS to stop doing console redirection once it starts booting, or replace boot0sio with boot0, and change boot(8) and loader(8) to only use the serial or BIOS console, but not both.

Since I don't dual-boot anymore, I've replaced boot0 with a standard MBR, and start off with boot(8) on all machines.
