If you mean OpenBoot console then I agree - I don't think there is a
way; I guess an OpenBoot upgrade might help but I think the PCI card
would have to be 'OpenBoot aware' to some degree.
If you mean Linux console then it should be possible with the right
kernel and set up.
If you mean X then again, it should work.
