+Do not turn off kernel framebuffer support as it is required for a successful
+boot. If you are using an NVIDIA based chipset, you should use the
OpenFirmware
+framebuffer. If you are using an ATI based chipset, you should select the
+framebuffer driver based upon your chipset (Mach64, Rage128 or Radeon).

+<note>
+If you select more than one framebuffer device, it may default to a less than
+optimal driver. Either use only one framebuffer device or specify which
+to use by passing the driver to use to the kernel on boot such as
