Yes, radeonfb won't take the initial console if a module. You can just
build both offb and radeonfb, the kernel will pick the right one. I
don't know why you are playing funny tricks with the config and the
command line. A pmac_defconfig and no special command line argument
should default just fine on this machine. The only problem with
the pmac_defconfig is that I may have forgotten to remove
CONFIG_MAC_SERIAL which is obsolete and won't build.
