I assume the framebuffer is ok because I the display is otherwise
(In the BIOS, Oily setup, NT Install) perfectly working. Even after
a crash of NT the machine correctly dumps it's registers.
Andy, is lib/console.c in Milo supposed to be working? When I last
had access to that Oily some weeks ago I tried to use it from Milo
itself and it failed, too.
