Hi,

I think it would be good to make at_keyboard the default input terminal on
i386-ieee1275, after the kernel has loaded (via grub-mkconfig).  The AT
keyboard is the only choice on OLPC anyway, and avoids ofconsole bugs
(this used to be the old behaviour before the terminal split).

Also, I think it would be good to make vga_text the default output terminal
on i386-pc, provided that gfxterm auto-setup (in grub-mkconfig.in) wasn't
possible.  BIOS output is occasionally buggy (seen in a recent thread), and
this way we avoid problems.

See attached patch.
