Read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt.  I've got the
following line in my /etc/init.d/boot file to set a nice solid blue
cursor when booting:

  for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8; do echo -ne '\033[?17;25;0c' > /dev/tty$i; done

Works both on vgacon and framebuffer devices (including kgicon) BTW.

Cheers,
