Note: thread created at request of dch to better reflect the nature of the issue.
MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Intel Iris Graphics 6100) trying to boot into PC-BSD Live USB key. The boot goes fine except that xorg won't launch (as expected, given this thread).
It seems dch is having luck using scfb but I can't get it to work. I followed directions the FreeBSD Wiki directions at https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics/SCFB but can't install pkg as no active repositories are configured. The Answer at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40080493/no-active-remote-repositories-configured suggests configuring /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf, which I have done. The last line was
so I amended it to read
mkdir goes fine but wget can't resolve http://geocoding.io/images/2016/02/pkg.freebsd.org.2013102301
I've tried installing scfb as per the Wiki but again, repos can't be found (pkgs can't be updated).
First question: is this a wild goose chase I'm on or is this going to get scfb working?
Second question: how do I resolve the geocoding link?
Third question: I assume when I shutdown these settings will be lost? If so, how can I make them stick so I can reuse the Live USB?
Thanks!
