Well.. thats actually rather useful.  You can get genfb somewhat working by
just issuing the fb8-install command, and *then* copy the screen-width and
screen-height values out with the copyprops() function.  (obviously you would
check first if they were zero, and if they are, then run fb8-install, that way
you can override it at the prom before boot).

That will give us a reasonable default that should work for genfb.
