You broke the console on the most modern Sparc machines we run^H^Hran on. Commenting out uart adding back ofw_console(4) restore console on Sun Blade 1{0,5}0 machines. Just adding back ofw_console(4) restores console output, but ofw_console(4) and uart(4) fight for input. Contrary to rev 1.88's claim, ofw_console(4) does not cause harm, and NO uart(4) has not completely handled its functionality. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
