PROBLEM SOLVED! In an attempt to minimize FreeBSD for nanoBSD I had WITHOUT_FORTH=true in my /etc/src.conf. That apparently breaks the passing of boot flags to the kernel, which causes the kernel to use the VGA output even though boot.config has "-h" and console=comconsole in the loader. On the ALIX, that resulted in a "silent" kernel because it has no VGA. Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. Sven
