This has a very weird effect on my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 4, 
1920x1200 screen)

The first few lines from the loader looks normal, but then it clears the 
screen veery sloowly. I can see big blocks of the text being erased.

After the screen has been cleared, it starts printing "Loading 
/boot/default/loader.conf" etcetera, with a GIANT FONT, really really 
slowly.

Then it switches to the small font (I have "screen.font=8x14" in my 
loader.conf) and displays the menu quickly.
