well i did the pram an it almost boot clear an then it came back to the terminal. Now I have done basic, an unix man pages, an dos, an straight linux, but the junk that is Darwin/BSD written by Brian Fox an Chet Ramey does not follow its own commands. As in if you are at the login that is no issue it will take your name, an paswrd. Fine but now where in six hours of sifting threw gibbrish, verbose or not do the instructions given actually work. it always ends in this error, or basicly DOES NOT compute.....hmm what is the point if they do not give you the commands to exit the black screen of $^%#
