which "beginning text screen"? the boot block screen, or the kernel bootup
messages?

It should be what is the default 15khz mode of your machine, that
is, if it is 50Hz, you get 50Hz, etc.

however, you can toggle that between 50 and 60 Hz in the ROM boot selector
screens (hold both outer mouse buttons down during boot) by pressing a key.

using loadbsd instead of the bootblock will help you, too, in this case.

The Kernel should use a more or less VGA style mode on the Picasso, if you 
have one.

Some people have reported that they have sync problems with it. I have no 
idea why, but can suggest how to binary patch the kernel to adjust parameters,
if need should be. However, it would be faster to search for the relevant 
discussion (few months ago, before the 1.4.1 rlease) in the port-amiga 
mailing list archives.
