If it is not 'vt', you need the following stuff. /boot/loader.conf should contain kern.vty="vt" And /etc/rc.conf kld_list="radeonkms" Or something similar. FreeBSD is in the transition of old-style syscons- and vt-terminal. The last one has support for modern KMS graphics, but is not the default on 10 yet. Regards, Ronald.
