Hi, would be really nice if the 11.2 and subsequent versions would come with the hw.vga.textmode=1 as the default in the installation media. Because you know, there's a problem with some vendors (like HP) who's servers are incapable of showing graphics in IPMI with the default hw.vga.textmode=0 (yeah, I'm aware that most of the vendors don't have this issue), and there's still a bug that prevents this from being set from a loader prompt - USB keyboard doesn't work at least in 11.0 there (seems to be some sort of FreeBSD "holy cow", along with sshd starting last, after all the local daemons. I would ask again to fix the latter as I did last years, but it really seems to be a cornerstone which the FreeBSD is built upon). Thanks. Eugene.
