 So the relevant part from 9.4 seems to be:
 
 radeondrmkmsfb0 at radeon0
 radeondrmkmsfb0: framebuffer at 0xffffa9002e78d000, size 1024x600, depth 32, stride 4096
 
 and the 10.0 kernel apparently does not select a usable font size for
 the 1024 x 600 resolution (or it miss-probes the monitor size).
 
 Hardware:
 radeon0 at pci0 dev 1 function 0: vendor 1002 product 9807 (rev. 0x00)
 
 
 One workaround could be to temporarily connect a HDMI monitor during
 installation and then configure a different font, but I hope we can
 improve font selection to cope with this type of displays.
