[OpenBIOS] Why some Linux distributions start booting to black screens

Some Linux distributions like Fedora start booting to an all black screen. I found out the reason why is because there appears to be something wrong with the screen node's color! word. 

If you type these commands in OpenBIOS:
dev screen
see color!

You will see that color! is empty. This would definitely prevent the color of text from being changed.
