Retraction of some parts of my report:
The problem with hanging after "/sbin/init" (my report says a
problem was with ELF Linux) was fixable by making some alterations to
the LINT file. My LINT file at the time had parts of a version 5 LINT
file in it (mainly the device lines but the hints lines were all
commented out since v4 "config" won't accept those). If I tracked down
the findings then maybe they would be ignored. Certainly it is a
problem others could later also have. I got the LINUX ELF bugs to
go away without finding out what it was.
sbin/init diagnostic errors messages seem to not inform properly.
I got the colour was fixed and /etc/rc ran OK.
That PS/2 mouse problems are real. Some is due to XFree86 code needing
a bug fix and FreeBSD allows configuration of the mouse. I

I wrote on 132 columns capability not being the default. That refers
to the absence of a line containing the text "VGA_WIDTH90" in the
GENERIC 'LINT' file of both v5 (HEAD) and RELENG_4 FreeBSD LINT files.
This line:
options VGA_WIDTH90 # support 90 column modes
An improvement may be to add the line to the GENERIC files.
The appearance of VGA_WIDTH90:

A 22 June 1999 record of VGA_WIDTH90 being added:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES.diff?r1=1.607&r2=1.608&f=h
That might not be a bug, in addition to perhaps being something can
be unresolved when the report is closed (if closed).
