files to vendor-provided ones. It should make easier to adopt platform
code to new revisions of hardware and to use DTS overlays for various
Beaglebone extensions (shields/capes).
Original dts filenames were not changed, they're now wrappers over dts
files provided by TI. So make sure you update .dtb files on your
devices as part of kernel update
GPIO addressing was changed: instead of one global /dev/gpioc0 there
are per-bank instances of /dev/gpiocX. Each bank has 32 pins so for
instance pin 121 on /dev/gpioc0 in old addressing scheme is now pin 25
on /dev/gpioc3
On Pandaboard serial console devices was changed from /dev/ttyu0 to
/dev/ttyu2 so you'll have to update /etc/ttys to get login prompt
on serial port in multiuser mode. Single user mode serial console
should work as-is

run under QEMU by setting KERNBASE to something that fits in low memory and
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:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
If you want to keep using syscons(4), you can do so by adding the
following line to /boot/loader.conf:

UPDATING. This is the first step towards the removal of ia64 from
head. A buildworld for ia64 will now yield:

While here, trim the ia64-specific additions from ObsoleteFiles.inc
