            Bug ID: 239244
           Summary: Installer: Do not switch the console to graphics mode
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.3-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: bsdpr@phoe.frmug.org

Please, do not switch the installer console to graphics mode as this preven=
ts
the use of some host's remote console (namely an iLO4 textcons). Because of
that I had to be present on site to attend that machine. An option presente=
d in
loader's menu whose effect would be to keep the current video mode or use
syscons instead of vt would be welcome if we can't or don't want to prevent
graphics mode switching for the common uses.
