Comment:

 If you just press enter, the font switches.  Also, this only occurs when
 booting with security enabled, since otherwise the kernel gets an explicit
 font setting on its command line.  The problem is that the kernel's
 default font is set to an unreadably-small one, and the 'setfont' which
 happens during boot happens after getty has been started on vt2.

 Reassigning to dilinger, as the correct solution is to change the kernel's
 default font.  This is definitely *not* an Update.1 blocker.
