https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193745 Bug ID: 193745 Summary: [uefi] fresh install of 2014-09-08 10.1-beta1 snapshot boots but has no console Product: Base System Version: 10.1-BETA1 Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: Needs Triage Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: dch@skunkwerks.at Created attachment 147441 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=147441&action=edit dmesg_from_imac13-4_20140909_10.1beta1 # Objective Boot to FreeBSD and see the console during boot on UEFI-only Apple iMac. # Expected Result beautiful lines of console bliss scroll merrily past until the joyous login prompt appears; all celebrate. # Actual Result loader.efi gets us to: Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... Start @ 0xffffffff802d89c0 ... And then no further activity (flickering, output, anything) is seen. However the system successfully boots and dmesg is attached. The method of installation was slightly unconventional, using an existing OpenZFS-on-OSX zpool and manually setting up zfs mountpoints before running the normal CD-based installation, using http://ftp.at.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/10.1-PRERELEASE/ from 2014-09-08. # Configs: ## EFI FAT partition - refind 0.8.3 - /EFI/FREEBSD/loader.efi copied from FreeBSD /boot/loader.efi - /EFI/boot copied from FreeBSD /boot (includes kernel modules etc) - loader.conf as follows: ``` kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0" kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0" kern.vty="vt" zfs_load="YES" vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/root" ``` at the console, OK show ... console=efi if that's of use. Setting `kern.vty="vt"` or not makes no difference. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
