Indeed too long to read from where I am now. Also, always leave the line starting with '# $FreeBSD:' in your replies as that will tell us which version of the script you used, but.. - All your config vars should go in a separate config file, say mynanobsd.conf, then run 'sh nanobsd.sh -c mynanobsd.conf' to build an image. - The line 'NANO_BOOTLOADER="boot/boot0sio"' selects a boot0 loader (the part that goes into the first sector of your flash device) to be one that supports only a serial console. If you want VGA use 'boot/boot0' there. There's no boot0 loader that supports both because it must be very small (max. 446 bytes). - If you go for serial console you should have a line 'customize_cmd cust_comconsole' in mynanobsd.conf, for VGA leave it out. - Later boot stages in FreeBSD support dual consoles (VGA and serial) but the nanobsd.sh script was not meant to support that. See nanobsd(8), boot(8) and: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/nanobsd/ for further information With kind regards, Paul Schenkeveld
