Hi! Have a 21" monitor and am a text console fan. How can I configure
netbsd i386 text console to:

1. use framebuffer device (i386), preferably at boot up

2. 127 columns X 60 lines or something similar (80 x 50 is much too
   big) with a high refresh rate

3. pretty legible font for 2, preferably iso-8859-15 (AKA Latin 9 or 0)

4. cyan on black default colours on all consoles

5. 11 usable consoles, number 12 reserved for X (got 8 so far)

6. get terminal set up to map function keys pc-like, e. g. when using
   midnight commander?

Guidance to detailed docs and other advice much appreciated.

Cheers!

Lucien
