Dwight,

Thanks for the reply!  I found references to that, but am I correct that the
OS has to get pretty far in the boot sequence before the output get
redirected?
If all you lose is teh CMOS options this would be a great option.  I assumed
the first thing you would see is a log in prompt.  Do you see all the
devices loading up?

Aloha,
Matt
