a) Could you post the output from 'grep vga /var/run/dmesg.boot'
b) what happens if you run '/bin/sh /etc/wscons.conf' when the
     textmode is messed up?
c) Do you have multiple consoles enabled? (ttyE[1-3] on in /etc/ttys)
     Is the font messed up in all of them, or just one/some?

There's an example on the manpage. Then I believe you need to use
wsconscfg to select the font you 'named' with wsfontload. The
step in b) should do that for you. (I think)
