If your console is not serial, yes. However, sc(4) is currently
broken on sparc64.

If you don't want to use a serial console, you can continue to
use ofw_console(4). However, you cannot select a serial console
if the kernel has both ofw_console(4) and uart(4).
Note also that you may get into trouble with the keyboard. I
don't know for sure, because I don't have a keyboard for my U5.
I think that both ofw_console(4) and uart(4) will try to control
the keyboard at the same time (ofw_console(4) of course does
this indirectly through the OF).
