https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200883 --- Comment #8 from Benedict Reuschling <bcr@FreeBSD.org> --- I can do that tomorrow. My experiences so far is that the updated version of the C6220 firmware made the FreeBSD ISO installation worse, whereas Linux (only tested it with Ubuntu) seems to work fine. There are random disconnects of the viewer and when that happens, the following tries also don't work for a number of tries. Then, it works again. My guess is that the problem lies with the firmware and not FreeBSD itself. Problem with that is that it does happen less often (or maybe not at all) with Linux. But there have also been a number of changes to the FreeBSD boot process recently, so we might be lucky. I'll test it with 11.2-BETA2 and a recent CURRENT snapshot and see what we get. I'll let you know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
