+       ARM64 now have efifb support, if you want to have serial console
+       on your arm64 board when an screen is connected and the bootloader
+       setup a frambuffer for us to use, just add :
+       boot_serial=YES
+       boot_multicons=YES
+       in /boot/loader.conf
+       For Raspberry Pi 3 (RPI) users, this is needed even if you don't have
+       an screen connected as the firmware will setup a framebuffer are that
+       u-boot will expose as an EFI framebuffer.

        New uid:gid added, ntpd:ntpd (123:123).  Be sure to run mergemaster
        or take steps to update /etc/passwd before doing installworld on
        existing systems.  Also, rc.d/ntpd now starts ntpd(8) as user ntpd
