To choose the vt > driver, set the loader tunable kern.vty=vt . Hi Ed, I just added `device vt' to my kernel and set kern.vty=vt, but got no output at all upon rebooting. I tried setting hw.vga.textmode=1 as found in the man page but that didn't change anything. Only on the Wiki page I then found I need `device vt_vga' as well. With this it works for me now. In case it matters I have an nVidia graphic card and nvidia.ko loaded. Would it be possible to make this a runtime printf if missing? Or at least it should be added to vt(4) (there doesn't seem to be a man page for vt_vga) and maybe UPDATING. BR, Stefan
