It's my understanding that the vga device driver is useless on bebox.  If you
have genfb working, is there any reason you want vga to attach?  I would think
once you have genfb working, you yank vga from the config.

From what I can tell, the vga driver is only really useful on i386/amd64.  For
all other ports, framebuffer drivers seem to be the way to go.
