Use VGA text instead of framebuffer

[bpisch]

Is it possible to use a text buffer instead of booting right away into a framebuffer? I am using a terminal Qemu (I have no other options available) and the only thing displayed is "graphic mode" with -display curses, so it would be very useful to switch instead to memory-mapped VGA text buffer mode.

As far as I know, the VGA text buffer doesn't exist when booting through UEFI. We try to minimize the differences between UEFI and BIOS booting, so we don't provide an option for this yet.

Ok I see, thank you for the response.
