	Booter 1.9.5 has a helpful little button under the "Booting ..."
menu item (in the Options menu) for doing just what you want. Click the
"Boot in B/W" box, and save your options and preferences. Every time you
boot NetBSD from now on, the Booter program will switch to B&W before
executing the kernel. When you go back to MacOs, the colour depth will be
whatever it was before you loaded the Booter program.


	Coming soon* will be a similar series of boxes for selecting the
monitor resolution when loading the kernel, for those of us with multi-
sync monitors. After that will, hopefully, be a fix for the PRAM problem
(the one which forces you to zap the PRAM after fiddling with the MacOs
 AppleTalk/Network settings, so that the kernel doesn't hang).


* As soon as I get the Booter to Link properly under Symantec Think C v7.
