It doesn't matter -- I prefer pal because it allots more screen
real-estate; but the 1084 monitor is multisync and can handle PAL, NTSC,
and EURO36 rgb signals quite nicely.

This did the trick famously. The full boot-line that I put into my
'StartupInstall' batch script is this:
amiboot-5.6 -d -k linux.bin -r root.bin root=/dev/ram video=amifb:pal
nolangchooser
^ of course that goes on line, no matterhow your mailreader may mangle it.
Thanks so much for your help -- I am now on the way to having a fresh,
current debian install on my extremely nerdy amiga 1200.
I must say I am impressed with the work of everyone involved with
linux-m68k -- the Debian installer has detected, sucessfully started,
configured, and used, my Linksys EC2T NIC, which caused NetBSD to lock
completely (Handy thing, a network-intense operating system with no
network connection. :/ )
Thanks again,
John Lamb
