So FreeBSD is forced to use the serial console instead... You can "fix" this by using just about any $10 pci vga card you happen to have laying around in place of the TGA card. Or hook up a 9600 8,n,1 connection to the 1st serial port and tell the srm to use it as a console (>>> set console serial) > > and dmesg: (Yes, the 1st 2 lines are from dmesg, and I cannot > find where they are coming from yet). > Unrecognized boot flag '0'. > Unrecognized boot flag ','. They're coming from the kernel, I think. You probably have 'boot_osflags' set to something like '0,a' in the srm console. Clear that variable, or set it to "a" and those messages will go away. > pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1011, dev=0x0004) at 6.0 irq 32 FWIW, this is the TGA card.
