Does it make sense to remove syscons from GENERIC? I mean, it's annoying to have to hook up a serial console when you have a monitor and keyboard right in front of you, but if syscons is going to cause panics that make a normal install of FreeBSD impossible then we're actually better off. I don't expect that someone will actually fix the panics, but that would otherwise be better of course. -- Marcel Moolenaar USPA: A-39004 marcel@xcllnt.net
