video=ofonly of course should not be necessary and wouldn't be if we added the option to boot/install with a 2.4 kernel, 2.2.19 simply won't cut it for most of the newwer apple machines, and ofonly video is NOT an acceptable long term option (its slow, X won't work right etc). that being said it seems to make sense to me that if video=ofonly was supplied for b-f boot it should be automatically added to the default additional boot paramaters. any objections to this?
