[parisc-linux] 9000/712 & Samsung Monitor

[Nathaniel F. Thompson]

It does work the same on a 712.  To save the typing at the BOOT_ADMIN
prompt, just hit tab as it comes up.  This will force it to cycle through
different frequencies.  I have seen many machines at work that won't cycle
unless you hit tab, and some that will auto cycle.
