What I do is to have this in my platform setup code:
#ifdef CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE
conswitchp = &dummy_con;
#endif
Then I select the console from the command line.
I can't vouch for the modified version in the kernel tree. My original
driver for the 69030 had a bug that made it fail if the VGA firmware had
already initialised the card. That wasn't a problem on the target
platform, but it is why I never submitted the driver to the kernel.
