I did a fresh install of FreeBSD on a new gateway of mine, and after doing
so logged in via SSH* on my windows system, ran /stand/sysinstall, and the
world was good. I saw colors, the menus were happy, everything was fine.
I then log in to the server from another system via SSH (or telnet)** on
another of my FreeBSD systems. I was logged into this system from the
console (monitors a Compaq 140, I think it's a 14") . Again, the colors
show up, I can switch between buttons, everythings great.
Now, I go back to the windows system (It's running 2k pro) and login...
I open up /stand/sysinstall like before, but this time, it's horrible. The
initial "Probing Devices" screen only has two blocks of blue, both at the
bottom left corner of the gray box that has "Probing devices, please wait
(this can take a while)..." in it.
When it loads up, the colors are also messed up, the display still isnt
right. If I go left, right, left, right several times this is what shows at
the bottom of the screen:
¦[Select] X Exit Insta Select [X Exit Install[Select] X Exit
Install
Select [X Exit Install[Select] X Exit Install Select [X Exit
Install[S
elect] X Exit Install Select [X Exit Install[Select] X Exit
Install Sel
ect [X Exit Install[Select] X Exit Install
It isn't updating properly. It does the same under telnet on win2k. I tried
lookign up some info using Google, and I found mention of tset, and reset.
I've tried both, but they haven't done anything that helps.
Can anyone point out what I need to do here? Do I need to remove some
setting file, or change a setting in some file? I looked in my ssh
directory in my home directory. All I have is known_hosts & random_seed in
my .ssh directory in my home directories.
I've never encountered anything like this before myself, and another friend
that had this problem some months ago lived with it until he re-installed.
I'd prefer not to do this. :0)
Any help would be appreciated,
