That would imply that the HelenOS kernel is somewhat unreal, which is not easily possible since it can drive real UltraSPARC machines :-) (And yes, on a real machine, it doesn't end with the "Booting the kernel..." message). A simple unaccelerated framebuffer support is not a big deal, all we need is an address, width, height and color depth and maybe a heads up if the device is weird (such as the Creator 3D).
