r346844 - No loader, kernel visible
r346774 - No loader, kernel visible

On a hunch I tried the r346638 image from CI and that doesn't boot, it's just a
blank screen, even though the disc1.iso for that revision did work. The r340154
image from CI is about as far back as history goes there, and it falls in the
"doesn't show anything until the kernel" bucket.

I tried the CI image for r346638 again on a different USB drive and this time
it still didn't show the loader, but the kernel did boot with a faint font.
Same issue again I guess.

I tested the r346638 disc1.iso I had again, it turns out that UEFI booting
works correctly, but legacy booting it exhibits the same problems as the CI
images all have (they're all legacy boot only). That's a relief, for a minute I
was worried the CI images had the console set to comconsole or something. I
confirmed there is no loader.conf or boot.config forcing weird settings on the
CI images, to be sure.

So vidconsole at least has been broken on stable/12 for quite a while it seems,
but that must not be related to the UEFI boot issue.

Fun fun fun. I can't really narrow it down any further without starting to
build my own images. I do need to do other things with this machine for the
rest of the day, so that will have to wait.
