The problem has been resolved.  There is code in arch/pmax/dev/rcons.c
that has either been added or changed for the PMAG.  This code determines
the bit endianness of the font used on the console.

The code diff follows:

                ri.ri_flg = RI_CLEAR;
                epwf = (ri.ri_depth != 8);

I don't know why this was changed from L2R to R2L in the first place,
but it definately broke the DS3100 I have.  Could whomever effected
the change check into this?

Thanks,
