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).
