Heh.  I was wondering what the Id line was just to make sure--I have
sometimes spent a lot of time debugging a problem to find that the real

This means that the console device wasn't initialized, but this doesn't
say why.  What messages did you get for the monitor probe?  Are you
using the internal or nubus video?

As fb said, check your monitor settings and perhaps try a couple of
different ones.  The most reliable setting is usually B&W.
