Hi,

I installed 1.6 from CD (the CD I happened to have lying around :-) 
onto a Wallstreet.  This all worked, I set the load-base and real-base 
in OF, and boot from the hard drive (boot ide0/disk@0:0).  It gets (as 
far as I can tell) all the way through, but before it reaches the 
login: prompt the display becomes extremely dark.  So dark as to be 
unusable; the text is black on slightly-less-than-black.  I can only 
just see that the text says something along the lines of:

wd0[a-p] ddb halt reboot

The brightness/contrast buttons on the 'book are of no use; how can I 
[1]change the brightness [2] proceed from here?  The console used for 
installation (the standard OF console) is clear and bright, and indeed 
when I return to OF this is still the case.

Thanks,

Graham.
