Solved Boot Menu Logo Size

[mro]

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 pixels under the microsope)?

The vt(4) framebuffer (UEFI efifb and VBE vbefb) can handle high resolution images [1]. I don't know if there is a upper or lower limit, but a 943x1020 beastie [2] from Thread [3] is displayed well. Just follow the instructions to install and configure.

Just tested, I can view a 3000x2000 jpg image in the vt(4) framebuffer (efifb) console.

How to change the FreeBSD logo which appears as soon it boots with that of the little devil.
