:I've installed dfly using the kvm/qemu emulator and I'm seeing
:strange corruption of the console screen at times.
:
:Some lines of text will have every other character blacked out,
:and some lines display perfectly. Does this sound like some sort
:of confusion between ascii and utf-8, perhaps? That's the only
:thing I can think of.

:One notable clue is that dfly and freebsd are the only systems I
:have this problem with. OpenBSD, NetBSD and linux work correctly,
:so I'm hoping someone may know what code dfly and fbsd use that
:would account for the problem.

:Thanks for any hints.
They are likely trying to emulate VESA modes and getting confused.
I'm pretty sure qemu has command line options that allow you to
use a 'serial' console, or options to manipulate the console mode
to something more compatible.
