Because I build a lot of embedded devices with serial consoles, I was in the habit of hacking /boot/loader by commenting out a line in a Makefile that enables terminal emulation /sys/boot/i386/libi386/Makefile: #CFLAGS+= -DTERM_EMU and then in /sys/boot doing a make clean && make unfortunately, with 9.X, this breaks the compile. It seems a dependency was introduced which requires the videoconsole code. I find this extremely irritating. Of course, there's nothing to stop me (at the moment) from compiling loader under 8-STABLE and installing it on 9.1 machines, but... Is there a better way now to stop the cursor from scribbling illegibly across the screen? - M
