If your console is not serial, yes. However, sc(4) is currently broken on sparc64. If you don't want to use a serial console, you can continue to use ofw_console(4). However, you cannot select a serial console if the kernel has both ofw_console(4) and uart(4). Note also that you may get into trouble with the keyboard. I don't know for sure, because I don't have a keyboard for my U5. I think that both ofw_console(4) and uart(4) will try to control the keyboard at the same time (ofw_console(4) of course does this indirectly through the OF). -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
