^^^^^
In my experience, the Twin Turbo cards never had an issue running in
the open firmware framebuffer (OFfb). They just won't work
accelerated. Actually, with some 2.4.x kernel, my TT started working
accelerated somewhat, but the video would break up into little pieces
as I moved windows around. It was not as bad as it sounds, it worked
fairly well and was fairly usable, but was pretty unsightly.

You'll want to pass an argument like
video=imsttfb:vmode:17,cmode:16
to try to get an accelerated console. Try cmode:8 if 16 doesn't work.
On some kernel versions that was something I noted.
