I'm concerned that you're initializing only 1 or 2 slots of 34.

It would seem that at a bare minimum the struct should be zeroed, and the 
device-independent header (4 slots) should be set.

I notice you're setting term_type (offset 56) and not type (offset 0), which is 
where my documentation says that CTB_GRAPHICS goes (Console Interface 
Architecture 2.3.8.2 Console Terminal Block Table).

I'm also confused that this

> + * Format of the Console Terminal Block Type 4 `turboslot' field:

says "type 4", but you're actually using type 3 (GRAPHICS) above.

But I do see that what you're filling in is exactly what netbsd examines -- no 
header checks, no size checks, or anything.  And that openbsd has an exact copy 
of that code.
