Chris & Colin,
My recent experience with the Q605 went like this: you'll want to use
the booter 1.11.1, as it has a check box that implements a "hack" that
resolves the problem of loss of video for the console, so you'll be able
to use the internal video. And, the kernels later than GENERIC #47 will
not work! I haven't tried any since mid-December, but those from 48-52
do not work on the Quadra 605. 47 works fine.
