Hi everyone, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13.0 on a vendor appliance that is almost a standard hardened server.
the problem I am having is that the appliance only has two serial ports and no video port/hardware(as far as I can see).
I can connect to the device via console, configure the bios and make it load FreeBSD loader (UEFI).
Now, after the kernel is loaded, the console output gets stuck, Still not sure if it's the output or if there are other issues (something else not loading on getting stuck) as the appliance redirect all output to the serial ports, hence it should continue doing so.
I have tried changing different parameters ( console=comconsole, comsconsole_port, gop=0, etc ) without any success.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks
