Hi, first i understand your need's right! More Text on screen at boot time, but i have never get this working at boot time, but directly after boot. In my case my Kernels would be compiles with: options SC_PIXEL_MODE and in /boot/loader.conf vesa_load="YES" and in /etc/rc.conf something like this: keymap="german.iso" font8x16="iso15-8x16" font8x14="iso15-8x14" font8x8="iso15-8x8" allscreens_flag="MODE_280" In my case with german keyboard, change these things to your needs. The allscreens_flag you could get as mentoided in other answers with vidcontrol -i mode, i remember that someone has tell you to use MODE_279, but i doesn't know if this is the best case for all cards. For a single test you can set the mode from one terminal (like ttyv0) after logging in with vidcontrol MODE_280 or that likes to your modes for your Graphiccard. If anyone else knows how we can set the vid-mode at boot-time so that the bootmessages are every time in such a mode tell me please how it works. In the Kernel NOTEs i have only found a line like options VGA_WIGTH90, but thi is not my desired resolution. cheers michael -- === michael-schuh.net === Michael Schuh Preußenstr. 13 66111 Saarbrücken phone: 0681/8319664 mobil: 0177/9738644 @: michael.schuh@gmail.com === Ust-ID: DE251072318 ===
