I checked that nothing else is using the serial port via MIDI Munger, so I
am not sure that that's this problem (but I could be reading/using MIDI
Munger wrong!).

Booting with extensions is problematic -- I *have* to load CFM-68K or I
can't start Squeak!  I haven't played with Extensions Manager yet to come
up with a minimal extension set to make it work.
