Thanks for any Help.
 
you may want to post this in the os x forum. plus you can't read any of the info. on the screen in that pic.
 
No need to read the text.

From here, you can run this from Terminal to reset that:
Code:
sudo nvram boot-args=

It's a firmware thing. Reinstalling the OS doesn't change the firmware.
 
It's just booting in Verbose mode... so yeah, it's a Unix POST screen, lol. Usually you boot in Verbose mode by hitting apple+V.... I'm not sure why yours is stuck there. Mine is because I use XPostFacto on my PowerPC-based Mac.... can't explain why yours is on an intel-based mac though...

See my post above. It's in the firmware, so you can even do it without XPostFacto.
