edit arch/parisc/boot/boot_code/ipl_c.c and replace the "ttyS0" in the command
line with "tty".  Alternatively, boot in interactive mode and edit the command
line (again replacing "ttyS0" with "tty").

That should get you to an (most likely unusable) shell prompt.

edit arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_cons.c and put a __delay(N); in pdc_putc.  N is
approximately the number of CPU cycles you want to wait.  I suggest placing
it directly after the "case 'n':" as that gives you a per-line delay instead
of a per-character one.

They always are, currently (this needs to, and will, change).
