Try booting without -A switch to enable AGA modes, that makes me end up
with pure gray screen on my A1200. That is, when the bootloader asks for
kernel to boot and says default is [netbsd -ASn2] just enter netbsd -Sn2
instead and hopefully it works better. (Didn't have time to figure out
why the AGA stuff fails for me - might be bug in code or just that my
scandoubler doesn't like the mode it tries to use.)
