Peter, it was ignorance on my part, I apologize. Seems to be that I should have been using "cd:,\\:tbxi" as boot-device instead with proper boot.tbxi. I've reverted libofw change due to its hackish nature.

Hi Maxim,

What machine(s) are you seeing this on ? I've 'C' hot-key booted a bunch of different models with 7.1-BETA.

MacMini G4 1.2GHz.

I've re-checked with latest 7.1-BETA ISO, indeed if I am holding 'C' key
the messages are displayed correctly, so that my checkin comment is
partially invalid.

However, the issue is that if I set boot-device in NVRAM to
"cd:,\boot\loader cd:" or to "cd:,\boot\loader hd:6" (I use the latter
to routinely bootstrap my Mini which has no HFS partitions) the screen
remain gray and blank even though the FreeBSD boots unless I do
ALT-CMD-O-F. With those two changes, both loader and kernel access
console just fine.

Am I doing something wrong?
