You need to use the pcvt console driver as it can do scan-mode 2.  I'm
waiting for more memory on my 750C to see if it helps, since right now
the install hangs saying 'using /stand/sysinstall for init' or somesuch.

This is YET ANOTHER REASON why users need the ability to build their own
custom install kernels.  I had to ask Jordan for a copy of the fs-image
for one of the SNAPS in order to build a custom kernel.
