Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 13 Alpha 2. Things work fine and I am really satisfied with the overall experience.

When I connect to my TV with an HDMI cable then kernel won’t boot. This is what I see on the TV or when I connect with serial (TV will not show any text when serial is connected though). Nothing happens after these lines:

Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
Using DTB provided by EFI at 0x80ea000.
EFI framebuffer information:
addr, size     0xf6000000, 0x1fa4000
dimensions     3840 x 2160
stride         3840
masks          0x00ff0000, 0x0000ff00, 0x000000ff, 0xff000000

For reference, this is what happens when I boot without HDMI connection:

Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
Using DTB provided by EFI at 0x80ea000.
EFI framebuffer information:
addr, size     0x0, 0x0
