I changed it.  New HX code has a caveat, however.  It's useful only
with larger fonts; GALLANT12x22 or LUCIDA16x29.  If smaller fonts are
specified, kernel will bomb.  Solution in MI side is planned.  Also
new DEC3000 console has 34x80 by default (should be a moderate size
than 40+ by 100+ covers 1280x1024 screen entirely).
