--- 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 num=
ber
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 l=
ess
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.
