You are missing this one:
commit 61c50cbc096d28e44cb8b627e524ae58158c423a
Author: Toomas Soome <tsoome@FreeBSD.org>
Date: Sun Feb 21 12:32:18 2021 +0200
loader: autoload_font will hung loader when there is no local =
console
=20
If we start with console set to comconsole, the local
console (vidconsole, efi) is never initialized and attempt to
use the data can render the loader hung.
=20
Reported by: Kamigishi Rei
MFC after: 3 days
The temporary workaround is to add -D, this will trigger call to =
vidc_init() and will prevent the hung.
rgds,
toomas
