I have a SparcStation 5-110 with a cgsix framebuffer and Type5 keyboard, just for reference.
From searching mailing list archives, reading manpages, and grepping kernel sources, it appears that NetBSD 1.5.2 on SPARC does not support virtual consoles, or wscons at all. Is this true? If so, when is it slated for inclusion? Also if so, then why does the sparc install come with wsconsctl and wsconscfg?
Not an especially urgent inquiry, as I've already installed screen(1); just rather curious.
