your mac supports only two colours, for some reason the langchooser version
of the installer needs more colours.

you do not want to turn it off, you want to turn it on (nolangchooser on
mean no langchooser is used, thats what you want, because the langchooser
uses the framebuffer and "bogl"). Just add it to your boot option, you do
not have to build a new set of boot-floppies for that, the nolangchooser
switch was added recently and is reported to work just fine. If you really
want to build you own boot-floppies, you should check the CVS what changed
in the last 3 or so releases, langchooser had to be activated in a few
places, if you want to deactivate it for your build, I guess you'd have to
undo the changes again. But why bother when the much more comfortable
solution, a switch which lets you decide at runtime, is already integrated?
Just last week somebody had this problem with an amiga, the solution is the
same as the one you need. Its described in the install docs, if you don't
find it, look it up in the list archive. Seems I need to add this to the
woody FAQ...

It might work, but I haven't heard of anybody trying. Didn't you ask this
before?
