I've put up a new kernel and loader, and syscons mods, at http://www.freebsd.org/~grehan/kernel /loader /syscons.diff /syscons.new.tgz and done some minor updates on the install instructions to reflect changes to the loader http://www.freebsd.org/install.html Some minor improvements on the previous syscons: - the font size can be selected from the loader e.g. OK set hw.syscons.fsize=8 / for 8x8 OK set hw.syscons.fsize=14 / for 8x14 The default is cp-437 8x16. - The font can be changed at run-time using vidfont or vidcontrol -f. The resolution can't be changed from what was selected at boot-time - The default screen border is 1 char width. This can be changed with the loader tunable hw.syscons.border, in units of chars. - 'shutdown -h' and reboot now work thanks to Drew G. I'll try and get a minimal ADB module coded so notebook users don't have to plug in an external USB keyboard. later, Peter.
