did that, and it worked (btw my monitor and grafics are fine). I 
could install without any problem (here's a nice setup, set an ftp 
server on a G3 B&W and use black night to connect (using a keyspan 
pda adapter(or any usb to serial device) for usb) to the modem port, 
for OF, then install the stuff using ftp).
But even 1.4.2_ALPHA has the same problem (tried 1.4.1 same problem) at boot

now, ofcourse i'm gonna try the latest snapshot next (since i expect 
that Tsubai would suggest it :) and because it's floppy worked (gotta 
d/l the binaries first). btw how stabile is the snapshot? since this 
7500 was meant to be a stabile NAT/firewall/emailserver box.

thanks for all the help so far, once you get the floppy going 
installing ain't hard at all.
