I think it would make more sense to include it in lilo. SVGAtextmode does
a nice job, but if your kernel is corrupted or the booting process stops
before rc.S is executed, you're dead. If you integrate lilo and
SVGAtextmode, you can read boot messages right after `LILO' is printed,
with no need for ugly kernel hacks.
