re: vt_efifb: what I did was removed the duplicate entry, since it was already in the x86 one: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/x86/conf/NOTES#n332 .

Sure — although the correct fix would be to not build the driver at all on i386, since it doesn’t support 32-bit CPUs. Apple sold very few i386-based Intel chips before they transitioned to amd64-only ones (it was only a matter of 8-9 months IIRC) and asmc(4) doesn’t support any of the 32-bit chips (I checked).
Cheers,
