I've just tried this (7.1/i386) as those were the last hints, it turned out to be not that scary :) I just didn't get the system console, i.e. there were no kernel messages during boot and no system console at VT0 afterwards. VT0 became and stayed completely blank/black after loader finished its job. But the system successfully went into multi-user mode, getty-s and X started normally.
Yes, it's just the issue of the console that matters. If that could be made to work w/o needing the hint then we could remove it.
OTOH, with this hint present I see the following in verbose dmesg: ... sc: sc0 already exists; skipping it
This is because it tried to add itself via an identify routine when it already existed.
... sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0 sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300> sc0: fb0, kbd1, terminal emulator: sc (syscons terminal)
A little bit puzzling.
And from the code in sys/isa/syscons_isa.c (scidentify) it seems that sc needs not a hint to get attached. Puzzled again.
Yes, it only needs the hint for it to be a console device.
