I see the same thing using your script. A few observations: 1. We've seen this message before (usually on APUs), but only a single time (eg, just one of the signal lines gets displayed). And IIRC it was a different signal. 2. In your case, the stream of messages seems to stop after some time and boot proceeds normally after that. 3. When I built the image using your script, on the second boot, I saw no messages. I'm not sure what's causing the problem, can you try with 6.3 release? (I'm assuming you are using -current here? that's what I tested also) Also some more notes: 4. in my test the default install location came up as http, so your script's pressing of "enter" for install path hung. I had to change the default location in the script to be cd. 5. Your customization step at the end should probably fixup /etc/ttys or you won't be able to log in to the machine via serial (since no getty will be spawned there). I sat there waiting for a while in qemu only to realize the getty was waiting on the vga console, not serial. YMMV. -ml
