Maintenance Mode

Curiosity got more than the cat this time. In 2.7 I selected maintenance mode and it rebooted to no farther than the boot screen. Is this a feature to program hardware with a blaster or something?
How do I get back to booting normally?

Maintenance mode boots in RGB so you have switch your DIGITAL-VIDEO connection :)

You're not the only one. I walked that path also, until realised that the output was on RGB :P
Was so getting used to RTG via DIGITAL-VIDEO :)

The Team said that Core 3 would contain the AGA chipset. So no need for two monitors or connections. Everything goes through DIGITAL-VIDEO :)
