To use a monitor and keyboard to do I/O with OKL4, you will need to  
implement framebuffer drivers in the kernel.  On the other hand you  
only need a simple serial driver to do serial I/O in the kernel.   
Therefore on real hardware, serial I/O will remain the preferred  
method of interfacing to OKL4.
