Yep, more than i can read out(can't scroll back)!
Wortel gives debug info when i pass -D to it.

No, i use no emu, my system is to slow to handle any of 
them(633Mhz(Coppermine)).
It's easyer to me to get reboot everytime than wait hours for emu to 
boot image.
Actually i used only Boch some time ago, maybe if i have will i'll try 
out QEMU.

On my PC i have nVidia [Riva TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] 32Mb.
Your question about it made me doubt if it's good with running Hurd-L4,
i have another Voodoo [Banshee 16Mb] on my brothers PC, maybe could use 
that one.
If it'll fail, well.. i still have old ATI Rage64 somwhere.

But i don't think you ppl out there running Hurd-L4 only with sucha 
legacy video cards.

If i set (-o vga) wortel must output to VGA, and if (-o serial..) is set
wortel output to serial.. ??

Have a good time,
