My display has a bad habit of blanking everything after the BIOS setup information until the first clear screen command (or some mechanism in that type of command because most dos programs or even the FreeBSD setup information beging printing again). Would it be possible to add this mechinism or at least a clear screen command to the very beginning of the boot manager? I can not read what it wants me to type. Or if you know why this is occuring can you let me know how to fix my hardware.

This is not a bug in FreeBSD or the Bootmanager. Just a device fault I believe. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
