Re: boot loader blank screen

Hi. It seems that font-to-display-80x24(25?)-chars-on-full-screen is selected automatically for display resolution. How's going on if you set, e.g., screen.font=8x16 on /boot/loader.conf? This helps me by reduced scrolling. If it's too small for you, see /boot/fonts for other sizes. Each

Re: boot loader blank screen

This issue(s) seem to need a variety of reporting contexts for coverage. My coverage at this point is more of a check if something reverted for my type of context but when it started my context was a failure case. I'm no longer testing a context based on the earlier patch (before its commital)

Re: boot loader blank screen

I've tried multiple rebuilds to no avail - what finally fixed it for me was to add this to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted: screen.textmode=1 I don't use X11 on this box but only had console access so needed the console to work :-) Works for me, your mileage may vary. Dan On Wed, 6

This is a little weird. Somewhere between 13.0-g2ff66a915526 (Dec 30th) and -gd03fd8ede2c4 (Dec 29th), I've lost the screen in the boot loader. This is really weird because I didn't update the boot loader (in quite a while, actually), but I suppose it might drag some stuff off of the disk and
