Subject: [PATCH] conn: Pretend to be a serial terminal, so sgabios doesn't
e76f14
 hang.
e76f14
e76f14
This tedious workaround avoids a 0.26 second pause when using sgabios
e76f14
(the Serial Graphics Adapter).  It's basically a workaround for buggy
e76f14
code in sgabios, but much easier than fixing the assembler.
