When the machine first starts loading the kernel it swtiches from the tiny
fonts that gummiboot uses to the Sparc 12x22 fonts, then switches back.

What framebuffer driver is being used when the kernel first starts
loading?  I tried disabling the EFI-based Framebuffer thinking it would
not switch, but this causes no output at all after gummiboot.

My point is, my system *does* show the fonts I want (for a second) so this
makes me think it can support this.
