Nothing really, except that IIUC there will not be a console device in
the device tree when there is no keyboard probed by the OBP.  This was
Connors original problem.

If the OS initializes the frame buffer itself under the path that it is
actually present, there shouldn't be any problem.  I guess the real
question is how to get NetBSD to initialize the frame buffer this way.
