Hi there,

so I boot freeBSD 6.2 in single user mode and I no longer have output on
the VGA after the "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a" boot line.

the console is fine and can interact with the machine.

my boot options are

---- snip ---

#   cat /boot/loader.conf
accf_http_load="YES"
boot_multicons="YES"
boot_serial="YES"
console="comconsole,vidconsole"

---- snip ---


How can I keep the interaction visible on the monitor plugged in VGA
when booted in single user mode?

Cheers,

Noah
