Basically what needs to be done for this is the inverse of what we do on amd64: Check whether the installer ramdisk kernel uses the glass console and ask a question that offers to use fb0 as the console. To make this work, look at the md_consoleinfo() function in the src/distrib/arm64/ramdisk/install.md file. This needs to scan dmesg for a wsdisplay0 device that is marked as "console" and then set CDEV to "wsdisplay0" and CPROM to "fb0".
