Description Frank Griffin 2016-06-06 16:03:49 CEST 
I just re-burned my boot-nonfree.iso disk in cauldron in preparation for a fresh install.  When I boot from the disk, all of the text is in black-and-white, and the control sequences that should add the color highlighting are appearing as printable ASCII; e. g.

                0Ftext07
instead of
                  text  (in some color)

Easily reprodicble.  This wasn't happening in the last MGA6 boot-nonfree.iso I burned (though I couldn't sy when that was).

This only happens on the first screen.  The stage 1 curses stuff looks fine.
