  You should remove grf0 and everything you don't have in your A3000.
  Its not needed at all if you have a CV64.

  You did :-) There must be a line saying something about "console".

  I was under the impression that the miniroot install does add such
  a line to rc.local.

  No, this is the custom-chip driver! Your driver is grf_cv.c
  Please be VERY careful if you change something there!

  BTW, you should be able to change the console resolution with an
  appropriate line in your grfmodes file. Check the mailing list
  archive. Only the _color_ can currently not be changed from the
  commandline, IMHO. This should be possible too, as soon NetBSD/amiga
  has wscons support, but I can be wrong.
