There's another possibility, that the wscons driver is not configured,
or not working at the resolution you've booted into. Does "dmesg" show
a "wsdisplay0" device? What does "dmesg | grep -3 ^ws" yield? If no
"wsdisplay0", try adjusting the resolution and depth in the Booter.
For my Q630, I usually use 800x600, 256 color or 800x600, 1-bit color.
