I don't think there is a problem mapping it 'properly' once the memory

comparable option to the 'immediate console'.

Hello Michael,
This initiative is great, and I would like to contribute if possible. There are
two machines here which could be available for testing or investigating.
Is there a way I could make things easier for you ?
Trying this out on other hardware is very useful indeed. I've got quite
a list of things to fix yet but I'm hoping I can get at least some of
this merged into the git sources within a few weeks. Any source
alterations that are questionable I can make available as an RFC or
similar for anyone to test.
One of my machines is very close to console login but the frame buffer
scrolling performance is awful. I suspect this is the notably poor read
performance of the video memory which requires a double buffer (or
possibly just buffer the text content and redraw) solution.
Thanks a lot,
Mike.
