Yes it is. It is a major mistake to ignore one problem and to try  to
continue and then complain about other, later issues.

Fix one problem at a time.

Do not try to continue before fixing the console problem.

Which exact boot arguments did you pass?


You configure for a MBX board - is this *really*  one  of  these  old
door stoppers?

Try removing devfs support and CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL and CONFIG_CMDLINE
from your configuration.
