I did search the question mailing list before posting. First, the new "menu", I think boot2 bootloader stage seems to be un-documented. Is there some documentation on this new-to-5.2 feature ? Also, during boot2 (starting right after boot0, and until "Copyright ..." ), all my text via a serial console disappears. This happened also when installing off the 5.2.1 Install CD. (system had no video card or keyboard attached, normally). I wish I could capture this, but when the text appears on the screen, I can see characters being generated, but immediately get erased. Some screen shots of this happening. <http://davidpdischer.com/FreeBSD521_SerialConsole/>; I've played with term types, etc, etc, and haven't really had any affect. The serial console box is a FreeBSD 4.8 system, using ssh to access the system and tip to hit the serial connection. -- *************************************************************** - | David P.
