Neither do I, John. But I remember having this graphics on my 
initial install of 9.2. As usual when "upgrading" (=install), I 
start tweaking things, including lilo. If I recall correctly, I 
removed something like *silent* and *nosplash* from lilo besides 
changing vga from 788 to 791. And on the next reboot, I magically 
had the nice, black screen back. 

Perhaps you could post your lilo.conf here ? - I'm sure someone 
knows how to remove the graphical boot screen.

Sure,

The hashed items are mainly the default settings I changed, but like you 
say it's about changing something

*silent* and *nosplash*

but I suspect in anouther file/directory.

now in /boot directory I currently have ,
boot]# ls
boot.0300                  
boot.b@

Are you sure it isn't somewhere in one of these directories or files that  you edited it ?
