Unless someone has better advice, you might want to try backing out your
BootX upgrade. I was able to boot the new kernel on the same model
PowerBook with no problems using the version of BootX that came off of
the CD (1.1.1 I think). You will want to leave "No Video Driver" checked
until you have things working correctly without acceleration. When you
reach that point, you will first need to modify your XF86Config file
and then reboot with kernel arguments defining your video mode.
