1) it's /iommu/sbus/cgsix at 2 actually
2) changing the resolution _will_ mess up the console ; you need to
"install-console" after each resolution change to get a readable
display again (you can check that your screen sync'ed properly w/o
fixing the console, it only mess up the content of the framebuffer not
the output signal)
3) output-device should be set to "screen" and nothing else (otherwise
"install-console" will reset the display to the content of
output-device...)

Cordially,
