Comment(by gnu):

 Adding this as the second line of /boot/olpc.fth works:

   button-check game-key? 0= if  freeze  then

 This results in a pretty-boot if the "check" game key is not pressed; or
 results in the usual Linux kernel messages if the "check" key was pressed
 at power-on.

 Tested in gg-765-1 on C2 hardware with Q2E18 rom.
