Solved Message blocking the installation process

[matthewp]

Hi, I'm able to get all the way to the installation wizard but a message starts repeating over and over ever second or 2:

ugen1.6: <ELAN> at usbus1
uhid1: <ELAN Touchscreen, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.15, addr 6> on usbus1
hid_get_item: Number of items truncated to 255
hid_get_item: Number of items truncated to 255
hid_get_item: Number of items truncated to 255

This message is written over top the installation wizard, so the wizard is still up, if you understand what I mean, and I can technically go through it, but the messages keep being written over top so I can't really see what I'm doing. How can I get these messages to STOP long enough for me to do the installation?

I can get to the Shell. so how do I stop these messages from flooding?

Some nice people on the forum helped me out. I was able to stop the messages by doing:

usbconfig

Finding when one was the touchscreen (it was 1.6 in my case). And then running

usbconfig -d 1.6 power_off

I also have this problem. If I use alt-f2 to get to command prompt and use usbconfig as above, how do I resume installation? Do you get shell by a different method?

What version of FreeBSD are you installing? bsdconfig(8) on FreeBSD 10 should offer to restart on an error or if you press Ctrl-C.

I read the link and used bsdinstall instead. Worked perfectly! (Version 10) Thanks!

Doh, sorry, bsdinstall(8) was what I meant.
