Does wscons support actually exist in the sparc kernel?  I tend
to think not, despite the presence of RASTERCONSOLE and several WSCONS*
parameters.

I thought the purpose of the RASTERCONSOLE_FONT=16x8 was to give you
more stuff on the screen, not a smaller 80x34 screen...?

...and WSCONS_{F,B}GCOL don't work.  This is on a SPARCstation IPX (built-on
cg6 -- could this have any effect on WSCONS?).  I tried to set them to be a
green foreground on a black background, but I only get white on black
until it hits securelevel 1, and then it goes back to black on white.

[the fastconsole hack to the EPROM is faster than RASTERCONSOLE on an
IPX, but I wanted color.  Oh, well...]
