    tried it...

    didn't work.

    the issue i'm seeing seems to point directly to the system not booting up if
    the monitor is not attached!!!!

    i plug the monitor in.. the server boots.. i unplug the monitor.. the server
    stops/hangs during the boot process...

    Bruce,

    1) when booting, edit the kernel line and add your parameter
    or,
    2) edit /etc/grub.conf and add the parameter to the kernel line
