Booting w/o UI?

My project is at the point where we'd like to test our device without a byteblaster connected (that is, no console at all). How exactly should I go about doing this? I'm guessing there's kernel config issues w.r.t. stdin/out...anything else? I just want the kernel to boot when the board is powered on. I think my addresses are set up correctly, because (when connected) resetting the board causes it to boot. However, if I power on without connecting a terminal, the kernel never runs.

Any tips? Is there a doc anywhere that covers this?

    I seem to have solved this by removing support for the JTAG UART in my kernel configuration (see the Reference Guide PDF installed w/ the Microtronix distro).
