What I would like done, for 1.15.beta8 is that the kernel actually
display bootup messages at each step:

{ 
   { credits();
     /* display bootup credits */
   }

   { printf("\p Loading Device Drivers... \q\n\r");
     load_xdd();
   }
   
   { printf("\p Loading File Systems... \q\n\r");
     load_xfs();
   }
  
   { printf("\p Reading MiNT.CNF... \q\n\r");
     read_cnf();
   }
  
   { printf("\p Additional AUTO programs... \q\n\r");
     more_auto();
   }
   
   { printf("\p Booting MiNTOS... \q\n\r");
     run_init();
   }
   
/* no idea how each routine is actualy called, since I don't have
   the current MiNT sources */
}
   
   
Having these infos displayed at bootup, as each step is performed,
would really help me in debuging WHY the HS-Modem and Minixfs/INIT
refuse to coexist on my Stacy.

Thanks.
