                OS: Any

screenshot of UEFI vt(4) boot

The UEFI loader uses UEFI's console services for I/O; the vt_efifb driver takes
over for vt(4)'s framebuffer when the kernel boots, but does not clear the
screen first, so some of the previous output remains on screen until it is
scrolled off.

See the attached screenshot - the loader's output finished with "Start @ 
0xffff...." at the bottom, and the kernel's output started with "GDB: no debug
ports present" at the top.
