Yellowdog 3.0.1 PPC - no visible cursor

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

OK, my bad; I was thinking of the Wallstreet for some reason. The line in
yaboot.conf to try would be:
append="video=atyfb:vmode:14,cmode:8"
The line should appear in the kernel specification stanza. Don't forget to
run ybin -v after saving changes to yaboot.conf!
