    Try 'cat /dev/vcsa0 > file' or 'cat /dev/vcs0 > file' (with 0 being the
    number of the console you use). The files will require some post
    processing (they contain escape codes,...)

    If that doesn't work, I'm pretty sure there must be a way to capture the
    content of a framebuffer console to a bitmap file.
