Have you checked that this is in fact being honored by the Linux
framebuffer driver? In video=keep mode it should be, but otherwise Linux
might reprogram the VIDEL "registers" at boot.

Other than that, this should help. Disabling the framebuffer console will
still leave ARAnyM read from the framebuffer, so both are perhaps needed.

Re: debug=par use for capturing installer logs: we can write a kernel char
device module that does just relay its input to the natfeat parport. I'll
see what I can come up with there...
