Author: royger (src committer) Date: Mon May 4 08:43:41 2020 New Revision: 533907 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/533907 Log: emulators/xen-kernel: improve package message Use onifconsole for the Xen console, so that when booting bare metal there are no annoying messages about a console being off. Also note the usage of vm.max_user_wired instead of vm.max_wired on FreeBSD > 13. Finally expand a little bit on how to get a working serial and VGA consoles simultaneously.
