The simple answer is - you can't. Not right now. The console driver used
on macppc doesn't support virtual consoles ( which would be unpleasantly
slow anyway since the driver simply recycles the OpenFirmware
framebuffer mapping and doesn't know about any kind of acceleration. The
positive aspect is that this approach works on anything OF can use as a
console. )

have fun
Michael
