Doesn't look like framebuffer to me, just typical console text.

Maybe I should try this first.

But I get the feeling that I'm missing something on this system. It 
doesn't have the normal Xorg/Xfree86 installed but X is a symlink to 
"XdecNetBSD", and there isn't a config file and it lokks like there are no 
drivers installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules.
