- When the parameter ram setting (in the hardware, saved by slot number)
- gets out of sync with the monitors control panel settings (saved in the
- filesystem somewhere) then this happens. When first booting the monitor
- is set by the ROM to b/w so the startup icon is b/w. Sometime later in
- the boot process the system notices the setting in the filesystem is
- color and fixes things up. By resetting the monitor state with the
- Monitors control panel you get them back agreeing with each other...
