 Having just realised I still have this PR open, I do wonder whether it's
 more to do with my Dell server (or its BIOS) than FreeBSD itself; when
 booting loader seems to redraw the entire screen for every new
 character, or during the autoboot countdown (which is very slow over
 9600 baud connection!)
 
 As I put very little information in the PR and it's not a huge issue,
 this can probably be closed.
