In 5.2 and earlier, this happened routinely on some ports; for example, NetBSD/sparc would start up using the OBP output and then, once the console device (framebuffer or serial port, depending on the console setting) got attached, would switch to using it. I would assume it still does, but I don't actually know; I haven't used post-5.2 on anything but amd64. Maybe looking at what they did would be useful? /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
