I assume it's detecing an `sfb0' device that you don't actually
have in the system. (At least, this was the case with the pcivga0
device I don't have when I had buggy firmware and was trying to
boot serially.)
If you build a kernel without that device and the wscons device,
you might be ok. That fixed it for me until I got new firmware.
