IIRC the problem is that the Console Menu isn't fine grained enough; the existing knob just allows it to be turned on or off but not disable f.e. font and keymap selection as currently required for sparc64 due to lack of 12x22 fonts in share/syscons/fonts (the existing smaller fonts look horrible at the required resolution).
