Stupid questions on installing

[Super Bisquit]

Apologies for busting up the party.

Does anyone else have a PowerBook Titanium with a G4 500MHz processor?
I need the address to the monitor/VGA output.
Printenv states the output-device-1 is screen. Does anyone have an
output-device-2 on theirs? The screen lasts for a few minutes before
the Vertical Stripes show airs.

 Also, again, do I need to format the usb key to hfs to boot it or do
I need to have a hfs partition followed by a ufs partition?
The i386 installation doesn't have support for the APM gpart option.
Will it need to be compiled with it?
