Add this, kern.vty=vt to your loader.conf. If you look at the sc(4) man page you will notice, Note that the syscons driver is not compatible with systems booted via UEFI(8). Forcing use of syscons on such systems will result in no usable console. As to how I got my Framework 13 (with AMD chipset) installed, I cloned FreeBSD, including all data, from my HP 840, also running in UEFI mode, changing fstab and rc.conf to customize a few things before booting the Framework laptop. (The HP 840 also uses kern.vty=vt.) To boot the Framework from install media, break to the loader prompt and type in, kern.vty=vt Then boot. Install FreeBSD. Finally, make sure kern.vty=vt is in the installed image's loader.conf before rebooting the image. Hope this helps. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: https://FreeBSD.org NTP: Web: https://nwtime.org e**(i*pi)+1=0
