Hi folks, vt(4) says: kern.vty Set this value to `vt' or `sc' to override the default driver used for the system console. By default, sc(4) is used on com- puters that boot from BIOS, and vt is used on computers that boot from UEFI. Are there any known problems using vt(4) rather than sc(4) on systems booting with BIOS? One of our folks noticed that sc(4) has a bunch of dependencies, a bunch of which that are for obsolete hardware (AT keyboards and their controllers, splash screens, etc), that vt(4) does not. Thanks, Ravi
