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. 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.
