Same for me, Justin, although the hard switch makes no difference. On 
boot i first get a purple screen, then black for about 10 seconds, then 
boots fine. This is consistent.

Started happening with the most recent update.

Doesn't affect anything but is annoying and might cause people who have 
done new installations to think they have failed, and get really 
frustrated...
