Hello, I am having a problem where my disk no longer wants to boot
(XServe, had no previous issues ever until now).

Here is the real problem, I have no video card (they don't come with
them).  I use the serial terminal.  I used to get a prompt once init
level 3 was reached, and then I could log in (not as root though for
some wierd reason).  It worked great until today.

Now I don't get a prompt anymore.  What I really want is to see the
boot messages and why it stops or I can't tell what is wrong.  Anyone
know how to do this?  If I use console=ttys0 or whatever with the
kernel it does not output boot messages, which is really worthless.

This is a production machine that had no backup, I was creating the
backup today and that bastard Murphy showed up before I could.   I
want to see what it is hanging on and if I can fix it.

Thanks

Nick
