Found what caused out the problem.

Don't run sunview in your .login with the idea of "if I'm not on the
console, it'll just error out".  Well, it will.  But it will also screw up
some sort of internal mumbo-jumbo that makes all further console messages
get printed by the eeprom.  Oh well.

This is kind of like the sunview bug where sunview hangs if there are nfs
problems.  Who knows why, just don't trigger the problem. :-)
