            Bug ID: 253253
           Summary: stable/13: efi boot always defaults to cons: serial
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: conf
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sirdice@gmail.com

Recent stable/13:
FreeBSD molly.dicelan.home 13.0-ALPHA3 FreeBSD 13.0-ALPHA3 #14
stable/13-n244437-ca9e7ac2fbb: Thu Feb  4 12:26:03 CET 2021=20=20=20=20
root@molly.dicelan.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/MOLLY  amd64

Custom kernel but the same happens with GENERIC.=20

System is set up for CSM and efi boot:
# gpart show
=3D>       40  312581728  ada0  GPT  (149G)
         40     409600     1  efi  (200M)
     409640       1024     2  freebsd-boot  (512K)
     410664        984        - free -  (492K)
     411648   33554432     3  freebsd-swap  (16G)
   33966080  278614016     4  freebsd-zfs  (133G)
  312580096       1672        - free -  (836K)


If the system CSM boots everything is fine. If I UEFI boot, the loader menu
setting Cons is always set to serial. Which then disables the video and ref=
uses
to boot, it just hangs (even after waiting 10 minutes I still can't access =
the
machine remotely, no pings, nothing). There's no serial console attached. E=
ven
if I disable all serial ports in the BIOS/UEFI it still defaults to Cons:
Serial, display shuts off and booting appears to stop. Switching Cons manua=
lly
to video works, system boots with efifb enabled.

Tried adding various console=3D settings in loader.conf. console=3D"vidcons=
ole",
console=3D"efi", none of it matters, Cons: always defaults to serial and the
system doesn't boot.=20

This means I can't reboot without being present at console to manually swit=
ch
Cons to Video.
