Could you unpack that question a little?

Man, I wish I had that much time on my hands, not to mention the  
space for old hardware, and the apparently cheap electricity.

While we're at it, let's try to port obsd to the old 6809. ;->

It would appear from your site that you have a spare old Mac. If you  
have a printer cable and an old copy of ClarisWorks (was bundled with  
many of the consumer Macs), there's a sort of decent terminal  
emulator in ClarisWorks. (I don't remember if there was a terminal  
emulator in AppleWorks 5.) That would allow you to capture the error  
messages and other relevant output during boot without having to  
filter it through your eyeballs and fingertips. (Hint, hint.)
