After installing I changed my ttys to ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown on secure ttyd1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ... As talked about in the handbook 20.6.5.4 Getting a Login Prompt on the Serial Console When I finish the setup and reboot, I get the loader prompt where I select to boot with ACPI disabled. After which I get one line of text that refreshes itself. The other lines remain the same- showing the loader. Below is a screenshot of what I am getting. Though I am not completely new to FreeBSD, this is the first time I have had to rely on using the serial console to do anything. Is there something in my configuration that would be causing this problem?
