 Confirmed.
 
   dsl=0x5a vsample=0x1e4
 
 machine is hung spining on this condition forever.
 
 So, what sets up this condition when booting with no monitor attached
 (or a CRT attached that is powered off)?
 
 The i82845 machine hangs forever in this case.  The i82915 machine
 boots, but reconnecting a monitor does not display anything.  The
 E7221 machine assumes a default 1024x768 mode with no monitor attached.
 
 Suggestions on where to poke next?
