Indeed, it's called 'con' and it's just a single cap.

You're giving fbterminal the fbdrv-cap so you're giving fbterminal direct
access to the physical framebuffer, bypassing con. To create a console
at con you need to do the same create call as with mag, just with the
con cap. Do not give fbdrv_fb to con. Also make sure to add ':svr' to
the console channel in the con caps.
