I understand.  I've rebuilt from clean with the default config and... 
[Gulp!]  I guess another reason to use the default config is to ensure
that I haven't done something rash with my config.  Here's the end of the
session now:

	Starting internet superserver: inetd.
 
	Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 apollos ttyS0
 
	apollos login:  

I'd also made /dev/console -> /dev/ttyS0.  No log to follow.  :)

Dummies?!  Ack!  Phfft!  Tyros, neophytes, novices, even newbies.  But
please do.

Anybody?  I have to make that *long* walk through the accounting office
just to power-cycle the beast.
