As for not needing any kind of framebuffer, under
OpenBSD I don't really
need it with the HP Pentium III system I'm using. Though it was a bit
worrisome the other night when there was nothing on the console and
it took forever to come up (it was fsck'ing the disk as the power had
gone out).
why not use a serial console? OpenBSD supports this.
For accessing the serial consoles of my machines, I use conserver
(available on the ports collection) which has the benefits of (a) keeping
a log of everything that appears on the serial port (even if you are
not connected), (b) allows connections to the serial port over the
network, and (c) allows multiple r/o connections to the same serial port
(so you can monitor what's going on from many points).
