No, without fb/console support you wouldn't even see those.
"console [tty0] enabled" comes from the early console, which implies
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE and CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK. But neither of these
implies a working macfb...
Ah, I forgot about the Mac's graphical early console.
So you don't get any output in between "console [tty0] enabled.
bootconsole disabled" and the initialization of macfb.
But there are several things that can go wrong there.
As the next line is "Calibrating delay loop...", it could be e.g. an
interrupt problem.
