   The AmigaOne, came with 2 CDs -- A1 Installer & Debian Linux 3. Even    
   those who just bought the mobo, got them. I got mine from Compuquick in   
   Ohio. All this sounds unusual. I've installed all the software on the    
   system. There's a Quickstartup Guide that comes with the 2 CDs -- all    
   Eyetech references.    
      
   Here's some boot args right from the guide:   
      
   ". For an ATI Radeon 7000, 7500, 8500, or 9000 graphics card:   
         
    setenv bootargs root=/dev/hda2 video=radeon:1024x768-8@70 l2cr=0x80000000   
      
    . For Voodoo 3,4, or 5 graphics card:   
       
   setenv bootargs root=/dev/hda2 video=tdfx:1024x768-8@70 l2cr=0x80000000   
      
    . For ATI Rage 128 graphics card:   
      
   setenv bootargs root=/dev/hda2 video=aty128fb:1024x768-8@70 l2cr=0x80000000   
      
   " (AmigaOne-XE Quickstart Guide [Debian Linux-PPC] v1.4 10-May-2003)   
      
   The Debian logo looks like the scroll end of a violin or chello!
