I'm trying to figure out what to stick in the kernel config file, for 
syscons, which I would like to have working for sparc64.  I have been 
looking into NOTES, and it's got something called NODEVICE, and a buch 
of things that are listed as NODEVICE very much surprise me, such as the 
atkbd and atkbdc, also something called ukbd.

I have looked in the notes for the sparc64 port, there isn't even any 
mention of syscons, but it's not in GENERIC (why not?).  I obviously 
have a lot to change, so I[m asking if anyone has syscons and virtual 
ttys workingon the sparc64, what' syour config file look like?

I have determined that I should be using the vgafb driver, whic 
apparently has no DEVICE line at all, and no ws* line either.

I really need to look at a config file of someone who has syscons 
running on sparc64.

Other archs, don't bother, your info isn't germane to this discussion.
