Weird. I've *always* though that it would go to
serial if you remove
the keyboard and/or the framebuffer. If I don't connect a HIL
keyboard on mine it prints out Blaablaa blaa press R for local console.
RS-232 is "remote console".
At least the NetBSD FAQ says that one has to go via the keyboard for the 380.
Removing the framebuffer yielded nothing. I suppose I should have a go with a
real terminal the next time.

You'd better ask some resident PDP/2.11BSD guru but
I can think
of the (relatively) small address space, segmentation and the like.
And at least I prefer running programs rather than just operating
systems on my machines:)
LOL, there's a difference between us. Most of my computers perform no useful
tasks at all.
vnodes were originally an idea/implementation(?) by
Sun:

Basically the vnode layer sits between the lower filesystem layers and
system calls. Gives you coherent access to different filesystems.
My, isn't that an *hrm* novel, interesting and new-fangled idea.

recent years outside Stockholm: V?llingby and Farsta.
