Thanks to daveb@tkg.com who suggested I use a camcorder to "catch"
the screen. I was putzing with trying to get it to freeze on the
right frame when jim mckie pointed out I could use a serial console.

The problem text was:

	iobufinit
		-3290 buffers; -409 hashes

This is most certainly due to a memory sizing problem (heaven knows
we have made the rounds with this one with BSD/OS...)  For now I
have just hacked fs/pc.c and limited it to search only the first 16MB,
which is all I have.  It would probably be nice to have the ability
to specify the maximum amount of memory available in the plan9.ini file.
(BSD/OS still has this sort of escape hatch as some machine are just
too bizarre for words).

The great experiment continues on :-)
