i have noticed that my original wall street screen goes black 
half-way thru the boot (it didn't do this with the GENERIC that came 
with 1.4.2??) so far i have sent the console thru to TTYA to solve 
the problem, tho i will try and find this option within the kernel at 
some time tonight. are we disabling the raster (X11) here, or 
disabling the OF drawing?
