You're using a frame buffer as console, right?

To quote the distribution README (complete with typos 8-):

        If your are using one of the supported systems that includes a
        PCI bus, and have either a PCI VGA frame buffer of any type or
        a ZLXp-E1 frame buffer, you may use it as console.  (If you
        are using your frame buffer as the console, you should use the
        terminal type 'sun'.)  Otherwise (if you are using a TurboChannel
        Alpha or have a different kind of frame buffer, you have to use
        a serial console.)

On all DEC 3000-family systems, you need to be using a serial console.
