OK, I've enclosed the dmesg output. The card had a sticker which lists
it as a 4017B. dmesg calls it a 4017b-lz. There is an expansion card on
it with a bunch of Motorola chips and a large one with a heat sink. It
is plugged into the GSC socket, not the PCI socket. (Why is the PCI
socket "backwards"? I've got a great Matrox Millineum ...)

21. Coral SGC Graphics (10) at 0xf8000000 [10/8], versions 0x4, 0x0,

Before the firmware upgrade, the Coral SGC card was listed as a
"Hyperdrive optional graphics (10) at 0xf8000000 [10/8], versions 0x5,
0x0, 0x77

It seems that sti=1 should turn on console on the graphics monitor.
Unless I need a different graphics terminal other than tty0 or tty1.
