Oh noes, he was outclassed by someone whose primary contribution was a
sneering "look at all this irrelevant conversation, then?"  This shame
may not even dim with time.

Unless the Ultra1 is more graphically advanced that the Ultra2, this
is all you will get.
Enjoy the resolution, though :-)

I feel a bit odd for asking this, because I used to live on the
console, but I must ask: why?  Why do any of you care about better
fonts or resolutions or assorted prettiness on the console?

Just go into X.  OpenBSD has the full range of window managers in
ports, from ratpoison and amiga-lookalikes to treewm to Enlightenment
to GNOME/KDE.  Can't you at least use ratpoison?  A computer incapable
of even that should probably not be taking up a monitor or keyboard.

some perl to aid in creating custom kernels

I call it 'ink'.

I see these devices in dmesg, but they aren't in GENERIC.
  $ ink F GENERIC
  aoa0 at macobio0 offset 0x1: irq 30,1,2
  iic0 at ki2c0
  iic1 at pi2c0
  iic2 at ki2c1
  maxtmp0 at iic1 addr 0xc8: max6642

cardslot?  Do I have that?
  $ ink dev cardslot
  $
no.

  $ ink o pci .hci
  What all .hci at pci do I have?
