It may work to do
printf(Press a key...\n);
cnpollc(1);
I'm trying to debug some stuff on a new server, and there are some
messages of interest that get printf'd on the console very early in
the system's life, before the Copyright (c)... lines. There is a
large amount of info being printed, way more than a screenful and way
more than can be
