With an empty /boot/loader.conf all is fine, it boots to the text based screen. Setting vbe_max_resolution= resolution give me that beautiful boot page, thank you very much for that. I always get laugh about by my Linux colleages about the FreeBSD boot screen, those days are over ;-). Also the font for me is very pleasant to see. Thank you for all your work on this. regards Johan
