Net booting fixed this. Not realising that the console output was being
redirected to one of the 2 pci raptors in the u60 after the initial OBP
output on one of the 2 creator3Ds helped as well, once I realised and
plugged it in... Stupid mistake, and one I'm sure I made once already a
long time ago. *smacks head*

I'll check out the OBP voodoo required to set the primary display
interface in a minute when the install has finished.

Cheers,
