>Description:
	When OF is set to `auto-boot? true', a reboot will not load the kernel and show OF output, but just display a blank white screen. No OS activity. This happens on selected machines.
	
	Systems with the problem are a Wallstreet/292 and a G4/400 so far - maybe others? 

>How-To-Repeat:

	Reboot from NetBSD, with the OF variable `auto-boot? true' set.
