Re: Care and Feeding

I've filed a bug report for a problem with amdgpu firmware on -current.
All the versions I've used that had that new firmware.

Simple workaround for the moment if you get it.
Causes boot to crash. I have to poweroff by hand.
I saw that others could ssh into and shutdown.

boot -c
disable amdgpu
quit

Anytime someone runs -current or installs new hardware,
boot -c or boot -s are your beloved friends.

If you haven't learned how to use those, learn.
If you don't know how to use the editor ed(1), learn.
It's ancient software. It will save your butt under the worst
conditions.

Whether you want to port or not, learn those things. Please.
