David, have you tried "video=vc:8" on "boot" prompt of rescue disk ?
boot-floppies/scripts/rescue/messages/C/f5.txt has lines:
You can use the following boot arguments at the 0fboot:07 prompt,
in combination with the boot method (see <09F307>).
If you use hex numbers you have to use the 0x prefix (e.g., 0x300).
Disable framebuffer for monitor 0fvideo=vc:807
BTW, I have heard that the boot option "video=vga16:off" works well.
So I think we should note this option in the place of "video=vc:8"
in $LANG/f5.txt above.
frame buffer support is essential for bogl-bterm for utf-8 and
jfbterm for euc-jp. So if there is no official kernel with frame
buffer support, then i18n boot floppies will die before going real.
Regards.
