It seems to me that the priority would be to get the monitor to work as
a console :-) I thought of something else. Try

" pci2/ATY,mach64@D" output

and see if the monitor comes on. It doesn't set the output-device
permanently, just for the session. The other thing to check is whether
you have "kbd" or "keyboard" for your input alias on your Mac. Setting
input-device to the wrong one (because that alias doesn't exist on that
particular model) will cause OF to default back to ttya.
