given you are in OF:
'dev' seems to be forth's 'cd' and then you can see all the possible commands
for the node you are with:
'.properties'
'words'
'backlight-on' is a command needed in the days of 2.1.24, does not
harm 'cause it force the display to brighten up (can I say so?),
and I left it there for romantic reminiscence.
this command is restricted to the node /bandit/ohare/via-pmu.

there's no way to get a newer kernel running via quik on your/my
machine with "CONFIG_BOOTX_TEXT=y", believe me or test it for yourself;
and you don't need any BootX kernel messages if you let quik be your bootloader.

sometimes it's necessary to halt _not reboot_ the machine and then boot it
the cold way.
if you can get past this point, type:
setenv auto-boot? false
