The boot process hangs with the following screen: Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf - The cursor does not move and no other text is displayed. After about 10 min= utes, the boot finishes (without the splash screen) and displays the login prompt= =2E I tried to login but it timed out after 300 seconds. The server was using a custom built kernel. I tried to get the GENERIC kern= el =66rom the livefs ISO and restore it via FIXIT console, but I realized that= I actually don't know how to do that... So how do I go about fixing this?
