I can boot a 2.4.x kernel for this purpose.

I use quik, not bootx (though I could switch for debugging purposes.)
Do I just change the "console = 0" to "console = 1" to get it to work on
my console (I assume that you don't mean the serial console here, but
indeed my screen?)  Or do I need to to something else to the file that
I'm not seeing?
