Ok - I deleted that faulty line from /etc/rc.conf and now system boots up. and tried: #kldload drm-kmod and fails saying "can't load drm-kmod: no such file/directory". Per another google post, it tried: #kldload drm2, and that worked (i.e. loaded) However startx is still failing - same framebuffer error. Could someone suggest how to fix this? Thanks so much for your help!
