Ok, this patch causes two problems for sparc64 (so far).
- Booting to single-user mode leaves /dev/console with echo
turned off, apparently no matter what the underlying console device
is (happened on both a serial-port-console Ultra-10 and on
an Ultra-60 with Creator-3D console which is syscons based).
- The Ultra-60 with Creator-3D console panic's when starting
the getty on the console at the end of the boot, message is
simply "panic: foo" which I'm assuming means it's tripping
over one of the "KASSERT(... "foo")" sections of the drivers.
Looked like your patch removed a bunch and added a few...
Are either of these known problems and being worked on? Do you need
anything (more info, debugging help, ???)? Am I on my own? :-) Just
let me know where we go from here, I'm flexible...
