[gentoo-ppc-user] No local video on PowerMac 8600 - Help?

[Carl Hudkins]

Hi, all...

	I've done a very successful install of Gentoo on an old-world Mac, and 
almost everything works as I'd expect it to, with one major exception 
that prevents me from giving it away to a friend who has no computer:  
Nothing displays on the monitor except for something immediately upon 
startup that looks like a CPU register dump.  Other than that, it's fully 
functional (well, unable to mount any Zip disk), and through some blind 
typing I set up SSH so that I can log in from my PC to do things.

	I have to admit, I'm stumped, as I've never had to deal with this kind of 
problem before.  Dmesg doesn't show anything that jumps out at me, and I 
pretty much left the kernel video options at the defaults, I believe.  I 
don't want to clutter the list by attaching a bunch of stuff right now, 
but if you have some suggestions about what to look at or send along, 
I'll be glad to do so.

Thanks for any clues,
