Hello all:

I am trying to get FreeBSD running on an Iopener, and am getting some
strange behavior. I am running 3.4-STBLE, but during boot the screen and
keyboard stop responding. It gets to "Booting [kernel]..." and then stops
responding. However, it boots fine (I can hear the hard drive spin) and I
can telnet and FTP into it from the server to which it is attached by PLIP.
I have included the dmesg output and my kernel config file below.

It is as if it is sending output to the serial console, and I do not want
this. I haven't hooked up anything to the serial line, as this requires some
interface circuitry first, so I don't know if this is the case really. I
have tried "boot -h" at the boot: prompt trying to toggle it back to console
output. Interestingly, in dmesg it says vga and sc0 not found although I
know they are there and seen elsewhere in 4.0-STABLE on the same
hardware(dmesg output for 4.0-stable can be seen here:
http://www.kenseglerdesigns.com/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=Show
Post&Board=technical&Post=115&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=0&Session= ).
I downloaded a Linux image to the Sandisk and it works the console fine.

I will go to 4.0 if necessary, but I just want to know if this is a hardware
problem (did I get a bum unit?) or a version problem. Could it be something
else? Anyone know how I can solve this problem so that I can get on with my
life!!!
