It just means that your PRAM and the monitor cdev's color depth dosen't
match.  To fix it:

1.  After booting up, open the control panel and select the "Monitor" cdev.
2.  Set the color depth to 2-colors/ B&W.
3.  Close the control panel.  THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT.  DON'T SKIP IT!
4.  Open the control panel again, and select the "Monitor" cdev.
5.  Set the color depth to 256-colors/Color or 16-colors/Color and close the
	control panel.
