Marius Strobl 1b279bfb52 - Change the code that determines whether to use a serial console and
which serial device to use in that case respectively to not rely on
  the OFW names of the input/output and stdin/stdout devices. Instead
  check whether input and output refers to the same device and is of
  type serial (uart(4) was already doing this) and for the fallback
  to a serial console in case a keyboard is the selected input device
  but unplugged do the same for stdin and stdout in case the input
  device is nonexistent (PS/2 and USB keyboards) or has a 'keyboard'
  property (RS232 keyboards). Additionally also check whether the OFW
  did a fallback to a serial console in the same way in case the
  output device is nonexistent. While at it save on some variables
  and for sys/boot/sparc64/loader/metadata.c move the code in question
  to a new function md_bootserial() so it can be kept in sync with
  uart_cpu_getdev_console() more easily.
  This fixes selecting a serial console and the appropriate device
  when using a device path for the 'input-device' and 'output-device'
  OFW environment variables instead of an alias for the serial device
  to use or when using a screen alias that additionally denotes a
  video mode (like e.g. 'screen:r1024x768x60') but no keyboard is
  plugged in (amongst others). It also makes the code select a serial
  console in case the OFW did the same due to a misconfiguration like
  both 'input-device' and 'output-device' set to 'keyboard' or to a
  nonexisting device (whether the OFW does a fallback to a serial
  console in case of a misconfiguration or one ends up with just no
  console at all highly depends on the OBP version however).
- Reduce the size of buffers that only ever need to hold the string
  'serial' accordingly. Double the size of buffers that may need to
  hold a device path as e.g. '/pci@8,700000/ebus@5/serial@1,400000:a'
  exceeds 32 chars.
- Remove the package handle of the '/options' node from the argument
  list of uart_cpu_getdev_dbgport() as it's unused there and future
  use is also unlikely.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
