Well, for powerpc64, . . . A) Using kern.vty=3Dvt booted the 2-socket/1-cores-each G5 just fine. B) Using kern.vty=3Dsc stopped after the "Kernel entry at . . ." = message. (This behavior with sc is not new, it is very old in fact.) (The iMac G3 boots with sc and fails to do so with vt: blank screen very early on.) These are as of: # ~/fbsd-based-on-what-freebsd-main.sh mm-src 818390ce0ca539300dd15d7a817784f1e3f7a9b8 CommitDate: 2021-01-13 14:54:46 -0800 4180404713ec 818390ce0ca5 (HEAD -> mm-src) mm-src snapshot for mm's = patched build in git context. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
