	True. The current Booter (v1.11.1), however, can work around this.

	Grab that Booter, and then in the "Booting" dialog, enable the
"Video address hack (for LC575 & 475?)" switch. This should allow the
kernel to at least output console messages on on the internal video.

	Note that this should work for any 040-compatible kernel (say,
anything built from sources within the last year), and should work fully
(except for the LC040 emulation problam) with current 1.3-BETA shopshots.
