Bryce Denney 26b2c0254c - this revision is based on a patch from Cliff Hones <cliff@aonix.co.uk>. ...

Cliff added to bios_printf the ability to print onto the console.  Bryce made
  some further changes.  Now when a panic occurs, the message is reported both
  to the Bochs log file and to the screen, and then it goes into an infinite
  busy loop.  Why an inf loop?  If I do a HLT in BIOS code, current bochs
  versions will panic immediately and the user will never see the real panic
  message.  I have mostly tested the new panic behavior by booting nonbootable
  and nonreadable disks.
