Chris & Colin,
    My recent experience with the Q605 went like this: you'll want to use
the booter 1.11.1, as it has a check box that implements a "hack" that 
resolves the problem of loss of video for the console, so you'll be able
to use the internal video.  And, the kernels later than GENERIC #47 will
not work!  I haven't tried any since mid-December, but those from 48-52
do not work on the Quadra 605.  47 works fine.
