This patch is what allowed me to go so far in booting:

I could post the CIF, but it is huge. The above patch is definitely needed.
The above indicates a larger problem - the open of output-device failed somehow. You don't want to just drop output, you want to figure out why that failed.
According to this page: http://lists.openbios.org/pipermail/openbios/2011-August/006620.html, bootx is setting this variable to null.
I think this patch is all we need fo fix the problem.
