Recently the serial console prompt on an RPI2 running FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #15 r314322 has become corrupted. The initial output from U-boot and the early part of the boot phase looks normal, but here it goes off: Release APs WARNING: WITNESS option enabled, expect reduced performance. random: unblocking device. Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/mmcsd0s2a [rw,noatime]... warning: no time-of-day clock registered, system time will not be set accurately Setting hostid: 0x908fd2cStarting file system che/dev/mmcsd0s2a: FILE SYSN; SKIPPKS /dev2a: clea66 free rags, 13cks, 1.9ntation)/dev/da0p3: FILE SYSTEM KIPPING /dev/da0n, 45357(260308 34432 bl2% fragm) /dev/da0p4: FILE SYSTEM KIPPING /dev/da0n, 3663539 fragsblocks, 0gmentati/dev/da0p1: FILE SYSTEM KIPPING /dev/da0n, 16010(118 fra18 blockfragmentMounting local file syste.

There are a few dropped characters in the output from fsck, for example. Finally, the login prompt looks like this: n: eBSD/arm (www.zefottyu0) Any attempt to type causes the line above to repeat without echo of the typed characters at each keystroke. If anybody has a hint what's wrong I'd be grateful. One thing I haven't done is reboot the host driving the FTDI usb-serial adapter. It's been perfectly stable for more than a month running r311959, so it seems an unlikely culprit. Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
