I tried with kfreebsd-downloader on an up-to-date Debian GNU/kFreeBSD system. kfreebsd-downloader downloads binaries for kFreeBSD 9.0 from upstream. So as far as the kernel it's concerned, we get the same result. I didn't notice any difference when booting with upstream kernel. > I think on normal FreeBSD console-setup works "out of the box".

Since FreeBSD 9.0 the default is xterm. Have you tested with recent versions of FreeBSD? -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
