Some are never satisfied. Now as I have Chuck smiling at me during boot https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/boot-menu-logos.81216/post-668631, I'd prefer it crisp.
I suspect it gets blur from scaling.
How can I find out the desired size (other than try and err or taking a photo and counting...
Hello,
I have a PC where I have various linux distros. I wanted to install FreeBSD on a dedicated disk. So I grabbed the ISO, booted from USB, ran bsdinstall.

For years now, I've been setting up my FreeBSD servers with GELI encrypting nearly the entire disk (except for boot stuff). Long ago I did this manually, but in recent years I've been letting the standard FreeBSD installer process do it for me. When the machine powers up, it boots as far as...
