I've done enough damage on an oi setup (b 151a as guest in VB on

border and a smaller red section that runs across over and over.

Well that never stops now... and boot never completes.

I'm not sure what all I've done but the main thing is that I disabled
gdm.  I did it on purpose and have done that in the past on other oi
and os before that to make bootup go to a console instead of the gui.

press Esc key to get the login prompt.
Then remove the graphics options from the grub boot menu to get rid of the splash screen.

# cat /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
