If you want graphics, install X; however, I've never used a framebuffer
in either Debian or OBSD so wouldn't know how to set it up in any case.
The OP said he wanted a text only so I take him at his word.
Also: correction. I said that there was this problem in 4.2 that would
be fixed when 4.2 came out. :) I meant that when 4.2 comes out in 5
