Hi,
I installed 1.6 from CD (the CD I happened to have lying around :-)
onto a Wallstreet. This all worked, I set the load-base and real-base
in OF, and boot from the hard drive (boot ide0/disk@0:0). It gets (as
far as I can tell) all the way through, but before it reaches the
login: prompt the display becomes extremely dark. So dark as to be
unusable; the text is black on slightly-less-than-black. I can only
just see that the text says something along the lines of:
wd0[a-p] ddb halt reboot
The brightness/contrast buttons on the 'book are of no use; how can I
[1]change the brightness [2] proceed from here? The console used for
installation (the standard OF console) is clear and bright, and indeed
when I return to OF this is still the case.
Thanks,
Graham.
