Did you try the nfsroot (or nfsinstall but it's probably broken now) ? The
nfsroot does not have any CONFIG_VT set so it should work. At least it
works on headless 2600 and 2400.

Then it should not do this, I don't know what happens. AFAIR it works on
MVME2400 whcih don't have the KB controller either.

Did you ever see the PMC module with some kernel ? Once booted (an nfsrrot
system is the best for this), see what you have in /proc/bus/pci.
