I just upgraded my UP1000 from 4.7-stable to 5.0.

Only weird thing left is the console seems to drop a lot of characters
just after syscons takes over.

I see this on console:

<...>
ppc0: interrupting at ISA irq 7
sc0: <System console> on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>
net.inet.udp.blackhole: 0 -> 1
Doing initial network setup: host.conf hostname domain.
<...>


And this (correct output) in dmesg:

ppc0: interrupting at ISA irq 7
sc0: <System console> on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0>
sio0 at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A, console
sio0: interrupting at ISA irq 4
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A
sio1: interrupting at ISA irq 3
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
Timecounters tick every 0.976 msec
Timecounter "i8254"  frequency 1193182 Hz
Timecounter "alpha"  frequency 598976859 Hz
ad2: DMA limited to UDMA33, non-ATA66 cable or device
ad2: 39266MB <IC35L040AVER07-0> [79780/16/63] at ata1-master UDMA33
acd0: CDROM <CD-ROM CDU4011> at ata1-slave PIO4
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad2a


Note that everything past sc0 seems to have disappeared until it
re-appears partway through multi-user startup.  Its not a sysctl
on a comcontrol thing, because booting single-user is similar.
The output stops after sc0, and starts again when I hit return.

This is a serial console, connected to a 5.0 x86 running conserver 8.5
on an 8-port comtrol rocketport card.  The speed is only 9600 baud,
and the console server seems to be able to handle it, so I think the
problem is at the alpha end..
