I'll change the message to 14. Other examples for the general type of question . . . For example, various aarch64, armv7, and powerpc*: WARNING: Device "openfirm" is Giant locked and may be deleted before=20 FreeBSD 13.0. RPi4B and RPi3B: WARNING: Device "fb" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD = 13.0. powerpc (old PowerMac G4): WARNING: Device "agp" is Giant locked and may be deleted before FreeBSD=20= 13.0. WARNING: Device "consolectl" is Giant locked and may be deleted before=20= FreeBSD 13.0. Note: FreeBSD has boot problems for various powerpc64 and 32-bit powerpc PowerMacs, so some material is from somewhat older vintages of 13. (I've not looked at the old PowerMac G3 at all for this.) =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar)
