https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202730 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |marcel@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org> --- Just a thought: Macs have firewire. It may be possible to enable dcons in the kernel and connect another FreeBSD machine to the Mac Pro using firewire and run dconschat on that other FreeBSD machine. Also: if you suspect that the Mac is running FreeBSD fine, you may be able to ssh into the machine and get the dmesg output. If you use DHCP, then it probably has the same IP address as before. I think the only tweak you may need to make is to configure SSHD on the memstick to allow root login (or alternatively, mount the memstick, chroot into it and add a user). I guess what I would want to know at this time is whether VT uses the efifb driver or not. If not, then a solution pivots around finding the answer to the question: why isn't VT not using efifb. If it is already using efifb, then a solution pivots around: why aren't we seeing anything on the monitor? Both questions probably need information about the graphics protocol and graphics mode, which we should be able to get by tweaking the loader. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
