Hello again managers,

Thanks to 
 o Dr. Alan Rollow (again!)
 o Oisin McGuiness 
 o Stephen Adler

The solution that best fit my situation was provided by Oisin McGuiness. 
He specifed the correct line to add to the config file was: 

	device  fb0     at      ibus?   vector  fbint

And it worked :-) (note that booting the generic kernel image was not
possible).
