My main concern is that console on VGA and ROM emulators are orthogonal, and one should not pull in the other, for design reasons. But if there is no hardware, I'll be quiet.
I don't understand the comment. Console on VGA may in some cases depend on the ROM emulator. So they are not necessarily orthogonal I think.
For the board config, I meant.
Some boards will have both ROM emu and VGA, some neither, some one of them but not the other. The big question is: do all 4 cases really exist out there? So far we're missing the case with open source onboard VGA, and not a single slot were an x86 ROM could appear. If not all 4 cases exist, orthogonality is academic.
