I do not _want_ it.
This is a simple matter of facts that cannot be avoided. If we cannot
initialize the consolem then we cannot print anything.

If you can initialize the console in a way that allows sending
characters, then just do this - do this as part of the recular
fconsole init code, so we do have a working console, and we do not
need ay "pre-console" stuff.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it
frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
