I just installed netbsd 6.1.6 macppc on an iMac G4/700.

After first boot from hardrive, the console text is red, but as it nears finishing the boot process the text turn black ((or invisible)) against
my black screen and I cannot see it.

If I log in ((simply typing into the keyboard with good faith that it is correct)) I can log in. If I hit the right commands and any red text is
called, I can see it.  But it is mostly black or invisible.

I can eject the cd drive & reboot the computer, so I know I am logging
in fine.  Just can't see text.

Has anyone run into this issue before?

What kind of graphics hardware is that? I assume some sort of nvidia?

have fun
Michael

Since I cannot look it up at command line, I had to look it up via Google.

It seems to be a "NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics processor with AGP 2X support" as per
