As of this update the only amd64 system that I have access to (a ThreadRipper 1950X) now displays a blank screen until kernel messages start showing up, with or without:
hw.vga.textmode="1" The system is not configured for EFI booting of FreeBSD: # gpart show -p /dev/nvd2 => 40 1875384928 nvd2 GPT (894G) 40 1024 nvd2p1 freebsd-boot (512K) 1064 1468006400 nvd2p2 freebsd-ufs (700G) 1468007464 402653184 nvd2p3 freebsd-swap (192G) 1870660648 4724320 - free - (2.3G) is what it boots FreeBSD from. Just before things disappear there is a / shown (or is it \ or a short sequence of such?). I'm going to see if I can get a picture/video of the first material to show up. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) _______________________________________________ dev-commits-src-main@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/dev-commits-src-main To unsubscribe, send any mail to "dev-commits-src-main-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
