--- Comment #11 from Ryan Moeller <ryan@freqlabs.com> ---
r346844 - No loader, kernel visible
r346774 - No loader, kernel visible

On a hunch I tried the r346638 image from CI and that doesn't boot, it's ju=
st a
blank screen, even though the disc1.iso for that revision did work. The r34=
0154
image from CI is about as far back as history goes there, and it falls in t=
he
"doesn't show anything until the kernel" bucket.

I tried the CI image for r346638 again on a different USB drive and this ti=
me
it still didn't show the loader, but the kernel did boot with a faint font.
Same issue again I guess.

I tested the r346638 disc1.iso I had again, it turns out that UEFI booting
works correctly, but legacy booting it exhibits the same problems as the CI
images all have (they're all legacy boot only). That's a relief, for a minu=
te I
was worried the CI images had the console set to comconsole or something. I
confirmed there is no loader.conf or boot.config forcing weird settings on =
the
CI images, to be sure.

So vidconsole at least has been broken on stable/12 for quite a while it se=
ems,
but that must not be related to the UEFI boot issue.

Fun fun fun. I can't really narrow it down any further without starting to
build my own images. I do need to do other things with this machine for the
rest of the day, so that will have to wait.
