https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239244 David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |theraven@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #5 from David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org> --- I can confirm that the suggestion of `set hw.vga.textmode=1` then `boot` does not work. The serial console shows: ``` OK set hw.vga.textmode=1 OK boot Loading kernel... /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x17cf50 text=0xd74bd8 text=0x42ebb4 data=0x180+0xe80 data=0x1884e0+0x477b20 0x8+0x18c618+0x8+0x1b0092- Loading configured modules... can't find '/etc/hostid' can't find '/boot/entropy' staging 0x6ce00000 (not copying) tramp 0x74e44000 PT4 0x74e3b000 Start @ 0xffffffff8037d000 ... EFI framebuffer information: addr, size 0xfa000000, 0x1d4c00 dimensions 800 x 600 stride 800 masks 0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000 ``` The boot then appears only on the graphical console. Fortunately, I *do* have access to the graphical console on this machine, but copy and paste doesn't work so it's quite painful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
