>Environment:
System: NetBSD vulcanised.rubberduck.com 1.5.1_BETA NetBSD 1.5.1_BETA (VULCANISED) #2: Fri Apr 27 18:29:05 EST 2001 yeled@vulcanised.rubberduck.com:/usr/src/sys/arch/macppc/compile/VULCANISED macppc
>Description:
When OF is set to `auto-boot? true', a reboot will not load the kernel and show OF output, but just display a blank white screen. No OS activity. This happens on selected machines.
Systems with the problem are a Wallstreet/292 and a G4/400 so far - maybe others?
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot from NetBSD, with the OF variable `auto-boot? true' set.
