Yes, happens to everyone.
If your boot-command is "boot", try changing it to
setenv boot-command s" screen" output boot
If you have a variable called "output-device" ( printenv ), you can try 
the less cryptic
setenv boot-command output-device output boot

I guess Apple doesn't like the aesthetics of openfirmware, so they keep 
the screen off,
while in OF ,and it isn't actually turned until forth hits the OK 
prompt (basically, as late in the init as it could go ), or by apple's 
loader.

I think maybe this should get into a file on the cd somewhere.
