hello,

running a FreeBSD appliance on top of a PCengines APU2C4 with the latest seabios
(apu2_v4.13.0.3.rom). The PCengines boot image layout is based on pmbr/gptboot (GPT patition
scheme), via nanoBSD the latest pmbr/gptboot binaries are applied taken from the 13-STABLE
tree (or 14-CURRENT).

It doesn't matter whether I put these lines into /boot/loader.conf:

boot_serial="YES"
comconsole_speed="115200"
console="comconsole"

autoboot_delay="0"

and in the kernel config file:

options         CONSPEED=115200

while having alos in both cases

/boot/config
- -h -S115200

following strict the handbook's suggestions.

After booting, I face always forever this screen:

SeaBIOS (version rel-1.12.1.3-0-g300e8b70)

Press F10 key now for boot menu

Select boot device:

1. SD card SN64G 60906MiB
2. USB MSC Drive  USB DISK 3.0 PMAP
3. AHCI/0: Samsung SSD 860 EVO mSATA 250GB ATA-11 Hard-Disk (232 GiBytes)
4. Payload [setup]
5. Payload [memtest]

Booting from Hard Disk...
/boot/config: -h -S115200
Consoles: serial port  
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
BIOS drive E: is disk2
BIOS 639kB/3405336kB available memory

What is wrong here?

Thanks for your help,
