Looks like I wasn't running a current enough -current. I have the same
problem here: the screen remains grey, with just a pale cursor at the
top.

After the system is booted, if I rlogin into it, I can display things
on the screen, with echo blah >/dev/ttye0.

I didn't notice before because I usually use a serial
console. Something must be broken in the console probes. I'll look at
this later.

G'night,
 Aymeric
