Badly.
I will try to document it soon.
Seems con$fdtread in vmsconsole.c uses some routine in n_tty.c, so far.

Have not yet been able to find what is wrong, but will try some more.

You have finished the $QIO interface to SCSI/2940 already?

A dk directory in freemvms/dk or in driver/src/dk?
I think driver files really belong in freevms/scsi/src or as files
in driver/src.

I have got a srm/src directory.

If you add a modified grub, you should remove the things we don't need
(the most, but keep ext2 and 3c90x), and add support for ods-2 and mop.
You should also have in mind the VMS boot process.

You might also look into if grub 2 can support what we want better.
(The current version is based on grub 0.90 and I most saw name changes
of grub to srm (and some vga_16 stuff)).
