I was able to get the information I needed to install Linux on an NEC

Wow. I feel so primitive. My solution was always just to connect a serial cable, boot up with a serial console, and log everything. :-)

(Actually, that wouldn't be possible on some "modern" laptops without a
serial port, such as my T42, so this is a good trick to know.)
