I remember seeing this a while ago but it was still under development. Nice
to see it released.
I telneted to it and here is what I found.
Weasel Demo - <Control-Shift-6> for attention character
I entered the key sequence.

I pressed space to get back to the machine and hit the delete key during a
reboot, I got the bios and was able to look at things.

It then boots into NetBSD. Login as root with no password and type reboot to
