I'll see if I can recompile for you.

nal, I would get something like that.
My terminal is minicom, running on an Intel PC on Debian woody. I used
the minicom configuration menus to set the serial port parameters to

This is strange; the bootargs are compiled into the kernel, and I supply
none when booting manually from OF. How come the kernel behaves
differently depending on how it was booted?
