I can confirm that the suggestion of `set hw.vga.textmode=1` then `boot` does
not work.
The serial console shows:
```
OK set hw.vga.textmode=1
OK boot
Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x17cf50 text=0xd74bd8 text=0x42ebb4 data=0x180+0xe80

Start @ 0xffffffff8037d000 ...
EFI framebuffer information:
addr, size 0xfa000000, 0x1d4c00
dimensions 800 x 600
stride 800
masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000
```
The boot then appears only on the graphical console. Fortunately, I *do* have
access to the graphical console on this machine, but copy and paste doesn't
work so it's quite painful.
