My 7500 requires the wBoot any time it comes up cold (just the four
finger salute or a shutdown -r now will let it come back up again,
but if the machine is powered down, it needs wBoot), and I guess my
video is "more consistent" with the video patch, as in it takes
about three tries instead of, like, fifteen.

OF 1.0.5 is just broken; few other ways around it.

Speaking of which, now that I've topped 150 days uptime, time to
upgrade that box to 1.5...
