Try a serial console to see how far it gets?

There's a local Mom & Pop computer shop where I live that sells mac
style monitor adapters to fit a normal PC style CRT, if the lack of a
mac style monitor is what's hurting things. I know that they're easier
to get/make than a DB8 (or whatever they're called) > DIN9 adapter.
The shop sells them for $4 or so, perhaps check ebay since the shop
owner sells his junk there too.
