Turned out to be what could be called a "framebuffer problem" and by adding this line in loader.conf solved my problem. Later I did more looking and found we have a nice Wiki about graphics at: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics You will see this about mid way down the page: "It is important to note that there is currently a conflict with both AMD drivers and the EFI frambuffer. The current workaround, when booting via UEFI on these systems, is to disable the framebuffer via /boot/loader.conf: hw.syscons.disable=1" As for FreeBSD 12.0 Stable, I have not installed it yet, and probably would have not considered that as I am pretty much into bsd13, but I will now plan to load their snapshot on Friday and give it a try.
