Hm.  I can't stand the fixed 6x13, myself, and the scrollback rate using
RASTERCONSOLE on a cg6 is abominable, to me.

De gustibus non est disputantum. (disputatum?)

But in reference to both of us getting that salmon colour on the console,
this means that the kernel would explicitly have to construct a colourmap
which, currently, it does not for a cg6 (the colours get drawn from the
same palette that the banner image uses).

Is there a way to replace that nice neat little 256-colour image with
a different one?  I'd like to have a daemon in mine...oh, wait, that's
forth code, and apparently the image is somehow forth instructions...
