Just to make this explicit, hold down Command-Option-o-f to get into Open Firmware, then type: boot cd:\yaboot at the prompt. This will take you to the yaboot prompt. At that, type: debian video=ofonly Passing the "video=ofonly" option to the kernel is the critical part. This should all be in the archives, by the way.
