Just an FYI about my from-source builds based on = devel/powerpc64-xtoolchain-gcc and the reverted-to-before /usr/src/sys/powerpc/include/vmparam.h = -r334498 . With the recent activity I jumped from -r340287 to -r341766 . It booted = fine as smp. I tried booting with "set usefdt=3D1" and the ethernet connection moved = to the other plugin position. It booted fine as smp. That was with /boot/loader.conf having: kern.vty=3Dsc (At the time I did not remember this note of yours or which way kern.vty = was set.) However I've not used X11 or such in years, just the console and ssh = sessions. Since I do not know what was supposed to be wrong if sc was used, all I can say is that I do not appear to have run into it so far. =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
