For the sake of others who might also be confused by this, the

verified this on an intel graphics equipped machine. Machines without an
appropriate graphics device won't/can't have a framebuffer console (yet).
If anyone has knowledge of how the framebuffer console is configured and
controlled, a short tutorial would be grand!
I now have 5.4-stable running on a machine with an intel graphics device
and the framebuffer console is indeed on by default.
[dmesg]: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=eKgZzNa8
When the monitor is connected directly to the machine - rather than the
KVM switch - the machine boots with 1600x1200 resolution and there is
plenty of text on the screen. At this resolution the text size is almost
perfect for me but the default font is a bit thick, jagged, and overly
stylized for my taste.
Has anyone figured out how to configure the framebuffer console?
