FYI for all you with 475 machines:
Johan sent me a message that the HWDIRECT.356 kernel works
properly and boots fine when using an add-on video card instead
of internal video. I was not sure whether the video card was
a NuBus or PDS/LC card, exactly, but it points to the problem
being mapping of the video screen, I think. (The Q605 has the
same symptoms, I'll note)
