Hi There,
Thanks for the help yesterday; I have made a new compact flash card and
can 'boot' my linux 6.10 using corebios+filo.
However, I do not have a video display for some reason. If I use the
commercial bios, linux has a video display.
How can I enable a basic text video display in corebios? I have tried
setting the config_vt; but that didn't see to do it.
Thank you

Not really necessary to dd the whole card to zero, even if you take
this route -- I blast 1 MB of zeroes, and it effectively takes care of
MBR, weird partitions that don't respect fdisk, and so forth.
Probably only a few KB of that are even necessary, but 1 MB is nice
and easy to remember.
