yeah... I got a little carried away there... I had long ago setup a
/var/adm/debug.log that catches everything log message issued. with

  *.debug              /var/adm/debug.log

in /etc/syslog.conf

Then forgot I had done so... The messages are there alright but now
I'm finding they are not all that helpful... an example at the end.

I'm not sure what you mean here.... With the same bios, linux manages
to provide a text console that is vastly more useful... ie, it has gpm
running. I wasn't asking for a gui,  I like a text console... but do
like to be able to mouse copy from the buffer.

About the console messages; they were concerning how to find the
output using fmdump, and using the `Event ID' to do so.

Now armed with the Event IDs that had scrolled off the screen:

I still learn nothing very useful, that is, unless by pounding away on
man fmdump and probably a number of other man pages this can be made
sense of.  But not at all obvious what any of this might mean:

 fmdump -v -u 4021154c-2d57-c54e-ae82-ea27fc2d19fa
