I'm left puzzled here now, will your display work correctly when disabling =

framebuffer with 'video=3Datyfb:off'? And if you're disabling it, why do yo=
u=20
need to compile support for it?

My experience is that I need atyfb properly working to intialize display,=20
otherwise it'll boot with not display (openboot screen will stay and no lin=
ux=20
output is displayed, while machine is actually booting and serial can be=20
used).

Am I missing something here..? (I'm fairly new to sparc, so please have=20
patience:o)
