Hiello Currently the allscreens flags from /etc/rc.conf is set at the very last during bootup - much after most kernel boot messages are logged to screen. Is there a way to make the switch to 1024x768 console much earlier in the boot process? For example if I boot into single user mode, I get the regular console with large fonts. Is it possible to switch to vesa modes much ealier than that? Linux does it (why can't freebsd?!!) :) Does it require patching the kernel? Has anyone done this before? Please reply-to-all as I'm not subscribed. Thanks. -- Rgrds GobbledeGeek [Everything but Gobbledegook.. !!]
