Dear forum members:

I am a newbie to the community and trying shifting from Gentoo linux to FreeBSD.

However, the bootloader halted unfortunately as shown in the attached picture. The installation medium used worked on my old laptop.

Any hints to solve the problem are appreciated. I did some search and found a bug, but I am unsure whether it is related to my situation.


Here's some hardware information
CPU: Ryzen 7 9700x (no external graphic card)
Motherboard: Asrock B650M PG Lightning
Monitor is connected through HDMI to the internal graphics.
 
Google AI , maybe video card problem :
At the boot prompt (before the kernel loads), set the following variables: set hint.vgapci.0.disabled="1" and set kern.vt.kms.enabled=0. Then type boot.

To set variables during the FreeBSD boot process (Stage 3 boot loader), use the following keys and commands:

1. Access the Loader Prompt

  • Key: When the FreeBSD boot menu appears (the one with the logo and numbered options), press 3 or Esc to select "Escape to loader prompt".
  • Prompt: You will see an OK prompt.
2. Setting Variables

At the OK prompt, use the set command to define kernel environment variables.
  • Command Format: set variable="value".
 
It might be interesting to know which installation options for which FreeBSD version you used to get to this state.

I am a new FreeBSD user too. My system contains a 9700X but differs in chipset B850M instead of B650M:
Code: 
:~ # fastfetch --logo none
root@mybsd
----------
Host: B850M Pro-A WiFi
Kernel: FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE
Display (LG ULTRAFINE): 3840x2160 in 32", 60 Hz [External]
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X (16) @ 3.80 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon Graphics
Memory: 9.62 GiB / 93.54 GiB (10%)
Swap: 0 B / 126.00 GiB (0%)
Disk (/): 17.51 GiB / 3.51 TiB (0%) - zfs
Disk (/zroot): 30.50 KiB / 3.49 TiB (0%) - zfs
Locale: C.UTF-8

I did an zfs root install with 15.0-RELEASE without any problem - and i am running a KDE Plasma with X11 using internal GPU of the 9700X.

Hi, I tried 15.0-Release and 15.0-Stable. Both versions give the same result.

I just typed enter in the bootloader menu (option 1). I will try again as Alain suggested. Thanks!
 
Might be a bit of shot in the dark, but look in the BIOS/UEFI advanced settings for a serial port setting, disable it.
