I finally go to this. With a custom RAMDISK_CD I see the problem is
in comwrite+0x16
Stopped at comwrite+0x16: movq 0x58(%rax),%rdi
TID PID UID PRFLAGS PFLAGS CPU COMMAND
*148750 40983 0 0 0 0 init

This is due to sc == 0
int
comwrite(dev_t dev, struct uio *uio, int flag)
{
struct com_softc *sc = com_cd.cd_devs[DEVUNIT(dev)];
printf("dev %d sc %p\n", DEVUNIT(dev), sc);
which prints:
dev 4 sc 0x0
I suspect this is due to puc0 not attaching in RAMDISK_CD:
"Intel C3000 UART" rev 0x11 at pci0 dev 26 function 0 not configured
bsd.mp attaches it as:
...
puc0 at pci0 dev 26 function 0 "Intel C3000 UART" rev 0x11: ports: 16 com
com4 at puc0 port 0 apic 2 int 16: ns16550a, 16 byte fifo
com4: console
To complete this story the /etc/boot.conf is:
machine comaddr 0x0000e060/0x0008
stty com4 9600
set tty com4
This change was made after the machine got installed with a directly
attached monitor.
Something isn't quite the same in RAMDISK causing this magical console
not be recognized.
Thanks
Greg
