Hi,

I have finally configured my PBG3(M3553) to boot from OF into NetBSD
1.5.2.

I have the following OF variables set...

auto-boot?   false
real-base    F00000
load-base    600000boot-device  ata0/@0:0
boot-file    <blank>
boot-command boot
When the computer starts it boots into OF. If I type boot, NetBSD loads
and all is fine.

If I change auto-boot? true and restart the screen's backlighting does
not come on and the computer boots into NetBSD? I can see text on the
screen but I need to use a flashlight to read it.

Anyone know how I can get the backlighting to turn on if I set the
auto-boot?  to  true?

Thanks.

S
