in my experience, i've frequently had to set "nosplash" on the boot prompt in
order to get a working console. when i forget to set nosplash, i kick myself,
as there's nearly always some problem that the splash screen obscures.
sometimes i've had to blindly hard reset the machine, as i had no indication
that it was doing anything after 15-20 minutes, which then results in fsck on
the next boot...
the splash setup may be pretty to look at, but it is terrible if something goes
wrong.
live well,
