Are you trying to load vesa.ko via /boot/loader.conf or /etc/rc.d ! kld_list, or is this observed without any vesa-specific configuration? I verified now: I can reproduce the message with GENERIC 12.3 (id 70cb68e7a00, local patches removed), and no loader.conf. It appears before filesytems are mounted, so /etc/rc.d is irrelevant. Trying to load vesa.ko from loader.conf or from the loader prompt produces the same error message and then fails to boot with "vesa not found". A kernel with "device vesa" added does boot, but also produces the message. Doing "kldload vesa.ko" in single-user gives the same error message, and additionally: > sysctl_unregister_oid: failed(22) to unregister sysctl(vesa) ! > This one is widely discussed as currently not supported by vt driver, but ! > this should be related to higher resolution screen, and not virtual ! > terminals missing.

You can try running `pgrep -fl getty` to confirm that ! getty(8) is running on each of the vtys. Yes they are running. I can also redirect output to the ttyv*, and that works, only the output does not appear on the screens. cheerio, PMc
