While there is no real technical obstacle to this the problem is that syscons(4) etc. assumes a fixed font width of 8 pixels while we really want 12 on sparc64 so we can e.g. honour the default text screen resolution set in OFW. Dealing with this properly means changing syscons(4), its ioctls, etc. accordingly and that's outside the scope of what im currently trying to get to work. Sorry. Marius
