Hi,

Is it just me or is there something wrong with vidcontrol(1) in 
base/head, amd64, sc console, r268165?

First, I had to specify absolute pathnames for the font8x16, font8x14, 
and font8x8 variables in /etc/rc.conf before vidcontrol(1) would load 
anything, and next, vidcontrol(1), when run by /etc/rc.d/syscons, 
complains about:

Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font "/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x16.fnt": No error: 0
Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font "/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x14.fnt": No error: 0
Bad magic
vidcontrol: failed to load font "/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso-8x8.fnt": No error: 0

I wouldn't rule out pilot error on my part, but r267957 worked 
flawlessly in this regard.
