Initially I didn't realize that it doesn't display kernel messages and after some failed attempts to run startx and hard reboots it took much longer to see a login prompt because I have background fsck disabled. So, 'console=3Dcom1' works unless I do 'startx'. > Do you have anything else in your /boot/loader.conf apart from this two > lines? >=20 > >=20 > > With this setup I get my system booted and at some point I can see a > > login screen.

BTW, I use the nvidia driver. >=20 Roman Bogorodskiy --Fig2xvG2VGoz8o/s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVR39NAAoJEMltX/4IwiJqmvMH/iPI91+x08QFlANhrFf5/zOH XFME7VoveDcph+nXoYeWqQLYt68R0odP3cs+FLUR6wFbTwGCWJxBanxlCtJRdYXU B68OpjleACKf0yr10dPX8Tg9KNdrzEm1Zyd4lru4TCo7m60t6oPeBmVWw1zjMB4o eniLq50646xWUNEUeuahNo33W9nOztLt8LqdJyvYVyRqKQa2k7vZc3Y0hG2dXWE7 xzRvYPSBkox3NjAdYDhF3Wp5F21a9NonfvLdqNb+HJIa6264CFIC3fgOKtcRCq0g t6SycciMg3UAmFSWr1rOe7HTblOeIVBq7sLIAWHuT55TAu3YI31ZWWgu0yWhxRI= =aKxx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Fig2xvG2VGoz8o/s--
