CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is weird. Is that one certain? To have that thing do 
anything other than <zilch> it seems to need RAM at 0xb0000 which not 
really anything other than an MDA/HGA should be puting there.

Then again, you also had VGA16FB among the breakers. Very decidedly 
non-legacy HW or something?
