1) How do I see the contents of the message buffer from a remote

"dmesg" to see them.

Is my only option to log in as ">console" and hook up a

monitor to the video card?

To answer my own question, after following the twisty maze of _doprnt() callers, I finally figured out that its a more or less standard BSD msgbuf. This seems to work: (gdb) x/s msgbufp->msg_bufc 0x34c00c <temp_msgbuf+12>: "standard timeslicing quantum is 10000 us\nvm_page_bootstrap: 124567 free pages\nmig_table_max_displ = 68\nIOKit Component Version 7.0:\nWed Sep 24 15:43:30 PDT 2003; root(rcbuilder):RELEASE_PPC/iokit/RELE"...
