As of this update the only amd64 system that I have access
to (a ThreadRipper 1950X) now displays a blank screen until
kernel messages start showing up, with or without:

hw.vga.textmode="1"

The system is not configured for EFI booting of FreeBSD:

# gpart show -p /dev/nvd2
=>        40  1875384928    nvd2  GPT  (894G)
          40        1024  nvd2p1  freebsd-boot  (512K)
        1064  1468006400  nvd2p2  freebsd-ufs  (700G)
  1468007464   402653184  nvd2p3  freebsd-swap  (192G)
  1870660648     4724320          - free -  (2.3G)

is what it boots FreeBSD from.

Just before things disappear there is a / shown (or is it \
or a short sequence of such?).

I'm going to see if I can get a picture/video of the first
material to show up.
