Re: yaboot/openfirmware flashies

[Laurent de Segur <ldesegur@mac.com>]

I don't believe that changing the bgcolor and fgcolor options in yaboot 
will bypass the flash effect seen when the machine starts up, as that 
the original post was referring to, because I tried it a while back to 
suppress the flash, with no effect whatsoever. I am not sure neither why 
the screen goes black then gray again before booting up the kernel.
Cheers,
