[rescue] Sync on Green

[Kenneth Caruso]

Hmm, I have a 712/60 and I remeber being able to get it to work with a
generic (viewsonic or envision) 17 inch monitor. In fact in the firmware
menu you can switch reolution all the way down to 640x480 if I am not
mistaken. Cant remember though, its been a while since I have fired it up.

On that note has any tried the linux port for the hp boxes. I tried
booting the debian/puffin linux iso with an old sun cdrom drive attached
to the 712/60 however it didnt seem to like it. Then I found out that
trying to boot linux on these things with anything other than serial is
pretty much useless. Oh well hopefully the OpenBSD port will be ready
soon.
