Tried SSH before I sent the original email; and after...because PEBKAC. However, though I am full of PEBKAC, I've decided that there are only so many times I can type hw.syscons.disable=1 (with or without double-quotes around the 1) then I say no more of that. But is there a sysctl flag for hw.syscons.disable? Because I look for it, and do not see one after reboot with hw.syscons.disable=1 in /boot/loader.conf. > > So: is it a lack of Vega 8 firmware? > > raven is raven, there's no 'vega8' firmware AFAIK. I looked around and that does seem to be the case. Thanks for your followup, and best regards, Joe
