Bug ID: 193745
Summary: [uefi] fresh install of 2014-09-08 10.1-beta1 snapshot
boots but has no console
Product: Base System
Version: 10.1-BETA1
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: Needs Triage
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org

dmesg_from_imac13-4_20140909_10.1beta1
# Objective
Boot to FreeBSD and see the console during boot on UEFI-only Apple iMac.
# Expected Result
beautiful lines of console bliss scroll merrily past until the joyous login
prompt appears; all celebrate.
# Actual Result
loader.efi gets us to:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
Start @ 0xffffffff802d89c0 ...
And then no further activity (flickering, output, anything) is seen.
However the system successfully boots and dmesg is attached. The method of
installation was slightly unconventional, using an existing OpenZFS-on-OSX
zpool and manually setting up zfs mountpoints before running the normal
CD-based installation, using
http://ftp.at.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/amd64/10.1-PRERELEASE/ from
2014-09-08.
# Configs:
## EFI FAT partition
- refind 0.8.3
- /EFI/FREEBSD/loader.efi copied from FreeBSD /boot/loader.efi
- /EFI/boot copied from FreeBSD /boot (includes kernel modules etc)
- loader.conf as follows:
```
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="0"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
kern.vty="vt"
zfs_load="YES"
vfs.root.mountfrom="zfs:zroot/root"
```
at the console,
OK show
...
console=efi
if that's of use.
Setting `kern.vty="vt"` or not makes no difference.
