I've re-checked with latest 7.1-BETA ISO, indeed if I am holding 'C' key the messages are displayed correctly, so that my checkin comment is partially invalid. However, the issue is that if I set boot-device in NVRAM to "cd:,\boot\loader cd:" or to "cd:,\boot\loader hd:6" (I use the latter to routinely bootstrap my Mini which has no HFS partitions) the screen remain gray and blank even though the FreeBSD boots unless I do ALT-CMD-O-F. With those two changes, both loader and kernel access console just fine. Am I doing something wrong? -Maxim
