then having the kernel relocate itself at runtime.

vt(4) is a new console driver which brings features such as:
o Support for Unicode and double-width characters
o Integration with the KMS kernel video drivers
o Support for UEFI
You may need to update your console settings in /etc/rc.conf, most
probably the keymap. During boot, /etc/rc.d/syscons will indicate what
you need to do.
vt(4) still has issues and lacks some features compared to syscons(4).
See the wiki for up-to-date information:

If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:

workaround. Magic ".../share/mk" (search directories up to /)
does not work for f.e. /usr/src/gnu/lib/libgcc because the path
inside is starting from /usr/obj hierarchy and ends up in
/usr/share/mk, not in the /usr/src/share/mk where src.opts.mk is.
IMHO proper fixing of incremental build is needed urgently.
In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no
components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them.
This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh
interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location
in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs
use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by
"mistake".
Committing this now to ride the UPDATING notice added with r267172 today.
The libatf-* major version numbers in FreeBSD were one version ahead of
upstream because, when atf was first imported into FreeBSD, the upstream
numbers were not respected. This is just confusing and bound to cause
problems down the road.
Fix this by taking advantage of the fact that libatf-* are now private
and that atf is not yet built by default. However, and unfortunately, a
clean build is needed for tests to continue working once "make
delete-old-libs" has been run; hence the note in UPDATING.
