[gentoo-catalyst] x86 nofb option

I would really like to make an x86 LiveCD that defaults to booting without
framebuffer support.  I've noticed that catalyst, by default, creates an
isolinux.cfg file that defaults to a kernel that boots with framebuffer.

The options I've come up with are:

1) Adjust my kernel config file so that framebuffer support simply isn't
present.  The drawback to this is that the boot menus would still indicate
that there are two distinct boot options: "gentoo" and "gentoo-nofb".

2) Tweak /usr/lib/catalyst/targets/support/bootloader-setup.sh so that it
generates an isolinux.cfg file that doesn't give the user the option to boot
with framebuffer support.  The drawback to this, obviously, is that if I
ever upgrade to a newer version of catalyst, this would likely break.

Has anyone dealt with this problem before?  Am I trying to swim upstream?

Thanks,
Stephen
