Okay. Testing that is a problem for me. The battery of the machine is
dead, I don't have any replacement at hand. Never bothered about it, as
there is always NTP :)
I just tried power cycling, it lost its settings at once.

I have an ES40 manual here, it says to issue init after changing
console. This results in the same panic.

I just found why I commented it out:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-alpha/2004-May/001460.html

So at least it *booted* with tga without a panic on sources < May 1st.

Anyways, should there be some notes for the Alpha release of 5.3
regarding this issue?
I also tried with set hint.tga.0.disable="1", but that doesn't work :/

I will let the build of 6-CURRENT finish, and will try to install this
tomorrow.

Thank you very much for your time!
