Todd,

Looks like your using newworld-ROM booting . . which version of MacOS do
you have installed (>= 8.6)? I know for myself, I have OS 8.1 so I
disabled newworld-ROM stuff.

Also, what are your monitor settings for X and for the console?

for example, when I boot linux, I feed it kernel args of
video=atyfb: vmode=14,cmode=16 (colons, commas aren't right, I'm not at
my machine so I can't get exact syntax)

This sets my console video to 1024x768, 60mHz
I use the same settings for X.

What you want to do is edit the /etc/molrc file and look for the line
that is something like 640/480/75 . . its a "hint" to MOL in terms of
what settings to use for console and X video. Change this to match your
machines settings and that should eliminate all the video mode
unavailable messages.

If you aren't sure what your console is set to type fbset . . that
should tell you.

Good luck,

Keith Clayton
