I can echo to /dev/tty1: 

echo "hello" > /dev/tty1

I can display an image (while booting or not): 

fbi -T 1 -noverbose -a test.png

I can display the image after printing "hello" to the console, but I can not print anything after displaying an image. How can I print to the console after displayin an image?

What exactly this parameter -T 1 does? I could not find it in the manual page.

I've tested your example here, and I've reached the same behaviour. The solution was simply to remove the -T 1 part.

    It's [something undocumented](https://www.google.com.tr/search?q=fbi+-T+1&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=KH0lVsX4AYaVaIPPrqAM#q=%22fbi+-T+1%22+undocumented). However, I tried what you suggested and system is stucked while booting. I fixed by removing the storage, mount it on another machine, restore the `-T 1` part. Interesting :) – ceremcem Oct 19 '15 at 23:32

    The man page on my system says `-T n, --vt n` `Start on virtual console n.`. Debian Sid, `fbi_2.10-2_amd64.deb` – cas Oct 20 '15 at 00:01
  • Yes, I noticed that later. They say there is nothing mentioned about `-T` parameter in the man page, but explained in the help page. – ceremcem Oct 20 '15 at 20:15
