After all devices initialized, call do_vgabios?
No. The do_vgabios is depreciated and is removed from the CVS. It uses a real mode switch which is very difficult to to debug and not portable. The prefered way now is to use the emulator to execut the VBIOS. The emulator is acting as the .init method of a generic vga device driver.
