>Description:
Can not seem to get PCVT to build and work on 5.3.

Video stops after boot loader loads kernel.

Disabling hint for vt and using sc works fine.

Build kernel with PCVT support and install

 Hi
 
 I think I hit the same problem in 6.0.
 
 I can send the full details if anybody is interested.

State-Changed-Why:  
I recieved some feedback, but i need extra information, 
can you please tell me whether this problem persists in 
freebsd 5.5 and/or 6.2-BETA3 ? (if possible can you perhaps 
even look at CURRENT), with this we can see where things 
go wrong and if they are fixed already.

 IFRC last time I reported this I was told by somebody from fbsd that
 there is nobody supporting this driver anymore and it is likely to
 be dropped in future releases.

pcvt has been removed from FreeBSD 7, and it's unlikely  
any work will be done on the version in FreeBSD 6.
