enable one line and comment out other lines,
to select one console device from vga,frame buffer,serial.
vga: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_VGA
e.g. S3 Trio64, ...
frame buffer: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_BE

serial: CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_SERIAL ...
if change CPPFLAGS after make, use 'make cleandir' before 'make'.
boot can read/exec kernel on ffs(floppy/ide/scsi) or attached
in-kernel image by powerpc's mkbootimage.
Example of making bootable floppy disk:
% cd sys/arch/bebox/stand
% $(TOOLDIR)/bin/nbmake-bebox
% nbpowerpc-mkbootimage -I -m bebox -b boot/boot /tmp/fd.img
Or
% nbpowerpc-mkbootimage -m bebox -b boot/boot \
-k ../compile/INSTALL/netbsd /tmp/fd.img
[insert formatted floppy disk]
% dd if=/tmp/fd.img of=/dev/rfd0a
