I'm left puzzled here now, will your display work correctly when disabling 
framebuffer with 'video=atyfb:off'? And if you're disabling it, why do you 
need to compile support for it?

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

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