At the moment my work is focused on getting the basic system emulation
up and running, so I haven't spent much time looking at the graphics
side at all.
I have noticed that the kernel falls back to the dummy console during
boot, so perhaps it is unable to probe the VGA device. If you append
vga=ask to the command line, are you able to find a framebuffer choice
that works?
