I've got a TGA2 (ZLX2-E1, i think it is, but it's been ... a long
time) attached to an AlphaStation 200.  when i boot an old kernel with
the serial console, it says:

consinit: not using prom console

when i boot that old kernel with console set to 'graphics', it says

pci_display_console: no device at 0/12/0

when i boot a new kernel (from the 990122 snapshot) with console set
to 'graphics', it says the same thing then drops me into the debugger.


Note, however, that in the serial console boot dmesg:

vga0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0: Digital Equipment TGA2 (rev. 0x22)
wsdisplay0 at vga0

is correctly recognized.  Any ideas?
