Aha. So on a laptop I have where booting FreeBSD from a usb harddrive
results in endless scrolling of text on the console (probably register
dumps, hard to tell) until the laptop is turned off, this might be the
same issue?
I can boot NetBSD and OpenBSD from different partitions on the same usb
hardrive, on the same laptop.

Is there a known fix or workaround for this issue? (Probably not, but
just in case...)
