Well I think I last saw things sort-of working with r345425 but only in single user mode and only with a single core. I wiped the machine out and started over today with 12.0-RELEASE r341666 and again only with a single core available. I am watching r350018 compile right now but I am still fuzzy on what the boot loaded magic words are. Could be usefdt=1 and maybe not. Could be that I must have kern.smp.disabled=1 and maybe not. Or it could panic so early that not much of this matters. As I say, outer darkness. > As for RISC-V, IIUC, support for the architecture is very much in an > alpha state. Strangely I have an instance that boots neatly inside a qemu vm and that even includes a ZFS zpool. -- Dennis Clarke RISC-V/SPARC/PPC/ARM/CISC UNIX and Linux spoken GreyBeard and suspenders optional
