In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Have to use a serial console. No support for TGA framebuffer. There's a bootstrap raw disk image in http://www.freebsd.org/~mjacob if you want to try dd'ing that from another OS onto a disk so you can get up and running quickly- although the serial console install seems to work pretty well.
