And I got several replies! Thanks to

Basically, I had expected a driver which could replace the basic driver
in the kernel (making boot-up and single-user mode debug much faster)
but the program (called tconsole, available via anonymous FTP from
wilma.cs.brown.edu:/pub/tconsole.tar.Z) is only a terminal emulator,
and the README file states that you shouldn't invoke sunview, X or
openwindows from within tconsole. Sigh. Still, I suppose it could
be invoked as needed (but I haven't tried it yet).
