https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D262000 Bug ID: 262000 Summary: Boot loader ignores console directive in loader.conf Product: Base System Version: 13.0-STABLE Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: karels@freebsd.org If I put this line in /boot/loader.conf: console=3D"comconsole efi" the loader menu and its other output go to the serial console, but the menu lists "Video" for the console, and the serial port does not become the kern= el console unless I manually change the console selection by pressing a 5. If= I'm not mistaken, the kernel environment shows a console value derived directly from the loader.conf entry, not the selected console. Also, the documentation, loader(8) and loader.conf(8), is not in sync with = the code. loader.conf(8) documents vidconsole, which is apparently obsolete. I= get a message that it is not valid, and also that there is no valid console (ev= en if comconsole is listed as well). Maybe efi replaces it. But the boot menu uses "Video" rather than "efi". --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
