Turn turbo off - just make it slower. Or use monitor with really slow
phosphor. (I have one readable ~10 sec after poweroff ;-). Or use
serial console and dump it to other machien. Yeah - turn on serial
console. It will slow messsages down even if you have no serial
console enabled. SHould help you.
