- I'm running Dell SVR4 on a 486/50 EISA machine with a Diamond
- Speedstar 24. The setup is set for VGA. When it starts the boot
- process it displays messages something like:
-
- Booting the Unix ...
- Starting Unix ...
-
- It then changes video modes and starts printing a bunch of copywrite info
- in what looks like CGA color mode and stays in that mode. It's horrible.
-
- Does anybody know whats happening and what to do about it.
-
- Thanks in advance
