	I suppose you have downloaded FreeVMS 0.4. 0.4 is in very early 
development stage (and I don't have time enough to continue alone). 
Random characters only show that L4 microkernel is running. I use this 
functionality because 0.4 kernel uses 64-bits pointers (by default gcc 
only use 4G pointers, 2G for system and 2G for user) and kernel can hang 
without any message.
