I had put bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" in the loader.conf file I rebooted and now I don't get anything. As soon as it starts to boot it stops. There is a screen showing kernel dump info and I can copy it if needed but I have to burn the rescue iso otherwise I cant boot. Is this a known problem ? Does anyone have any advice ?
