>Environment:
System: NetBSD lager 1.5.1_ALPHA NetBSD 1.5.1_ALPHA (TCWSCONS) #7: Sun Mar 4 00:35:27 PST 2001 root@lager:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/TCWSCONS alpha
>Description:
The DEC 3000/800 (at least the one I have access to) does not actually
have on-board graphics, but it does have all six TC slots. This
causes the PMAGB-B not to be recognized at console selection time,
though it is recognized after the system has switched over to serial
console.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a 3000/800 with TCWSCONS kernel.
>Fix:
The following seems to do the trick for me:
