After this command is run, all console output is supressed. I'm not sure why (found that via regression test), but on Efika the output-device is screen (/pci@80000000/display@10). I suppose the right fix would be to check for PowerMacs before running this, but I'm not sure how. Any ideas? -- Robert Millan My spam trap is honeypot@aybabtu.com.
