	Then maybe it's some program that initscript calls.
console-screen.sh looks like a possibility.  I'll disable it and reboot, and let you
know what happens.

	OK.  Some of the output from dmesg may also be useful.  I've added
comments to that.

I think the following line flashed on the screen right after "starting portmap daemon".
Something like this was in dmesg the first time I looked.  When I looked in dmesg again,
the message about portmap was gone.

e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex


This one might have flashed on the screen too.  It was too quick to catch.

NET: Registered protocol family 10


And after that the bottom half of the screen went black.
