Summary

print automatically adds a newline, while printc does not. Use printc in
preference to print for managing the autoboot message. This means we can
use line 24 safely on a 24x80 terminal, restoring some functionality that
was lost in 101afbc6ee2f0

Move thec comment to the line above it, please, and this otherwise LGTM

Update comments: (1) like kyle suggested and (2) reword the awkard comment about
a common (enough?) VT100 emulator bug that's easily avoided.
