The following reply was made to PR i386/11278; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nick Hibma <nick.hibma@jrc.it> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, jtcn@dynegy.com Cc: Subject: Re: i386/11278: FreeBSD Version 3.1 reboots repeatedly (continuously cycles through the boot process) if no video card is installed. Version 2.1.5 does not cycle. Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 17:34:07 +0200 Did you specify a serial console in the /boot.conf? Specify -P in that file. echo -P > /boot.config reboot It might be that the console driver tries to write to the screen anyway. Hope this helps.
