> According to the ESXi devs, there is no SIO controller currently, and I b= elieve this is required for the virtual serial ports to work > https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition/bugs/1104 I do think this a requirement. Indeed, a UART is detected in your dmesg: uart0: <16550 or compatible> mem 0x3fff03f8-0x3fff03ff irq 5 on ofwbus0 uart0: console (230400,n,8,1) Is it not exposed on the host? If we cannot debug, a verbose boot would at least add some colour. Could yo= u add boot_verbose=3D"YES" to /etc/loader.conf? I took a look at the instructions for getting this up and running on my own= Pi. It is certainly a lot of instructions. It is a shame they do not just = provide a .img I could flash to an sdcard. -- RHC.
