Sorry to be a gadfly here, but I'm puzzled by this. For
installation, I boot into OF with auto-boot?=false,
input-device=kbd and output-device=/chaos/control. Now, once I
have a bootable kernel, I should be able to reset everything
except boot-device to their defaults, right? Or do I need to keep
input- and output- device as during install?

When I reboot with input and output set to ttya, I see disk
activity, then the screen initializes to a gray screen, but no
text. Am I still thinking to Mac-ishly?

Fortunately I have MacOS and Linuxppc installed on another
volume, so I can play with OF easily.

Baby steps, baby steps...

Thanks,
Geoff
