I set the run level to 3 and linux is set at the default to autoboot.

but no luck.

it turns out that yaboot's novideo attribute is just to turn off video 
acceleration.

well, if anyone else has any ideas please post them.  and, i am going 
to continue to try to find the answer.  i really want this to work.
