Okay!  Things are really looking up!

I got my "extra beefy" snaphats yesterday and snapped one into the Fuel today (not as easy as I thought).

I went ahead and took jwhat's advice and assumed the console moved back to the L1 port that you toggle with Crtl+d & Ctrl+t (that turned out to be true, now). 

All errors are now RESOLVED (this log shows booting with NEW a snaphat for the first time, then rebooting after snaphat RTC initialization is defaulted using L1 pwr commands):

IRIS console login:   
001a01 ATTN: Power Down: issue 'pwr d' again to immediately power down.

So error_dump is empty now, Memory sizing consistently detects 2GB of Memory, and boots to graphics now.  The only unknown thing is

A: Doing online diags (extensive mode)
B: Testing the original V10 graphics card.
C: Upgrading the L1

I'm trying to put together a CDROM with all this on it so I can just pop it in.

I'll keep you guys updated.
