: 
: /sbin/mingety: unrecognized option `--clear'
: /sbin/mingety: unrecognized option `--clear'
: /sbin/mingety: unrecognized option `--clear'
: /sbin/mingety: unrecognized option `--clear'

: at the end of the boot process.

John, the above is clap-trap, for which I apologise.  Your suggestion
(with --noclear in place of --clear) works just fine.

I evidently had two errors in my syntax.  Removing the space in "--
noclear" tickled the other error.  Please see my post with (SOLVED) in
the title.
