This happens during an install, or after you've installed
and are logging in for the first time? If the latter,
try logging in as none, which will not start vga.
Then type
ed /rc/bin/termrc
/vga
a
echo hwaccel off >/dev/vgactl
.
w
q
fshalt
and reboot and log in as glenda.
The problem is that the video driver is trying
to use hardware acceleration to speed things
up, but it apparently doesn't support your card.
We should make the driver turn off hardware
acceleration after the first message is printed.
