Dear FreeBSD Support Team:
Last year I upgraded the hardware in this Samsung NP300V4A by adding a 500 GB SSD and 12 GB RAM.
So I decided to install FreeBSD 10.3, in that try I had problems installing it from the USB due to display errors at the moment of enter option 1 in the splash screen of the installer. That day I didn't have time, or mind, to debug so I did installed PC-BSD.
Now I am willing to be 100% FreeBSD so I did try to upgrade PC-BSD using the upgrading options of the FreeBSD RELEASE announcement to FreeBSD 11 but failed, so I decided to prepare a Flash Drive with FreeBSD 11 dot IMG. It didn't work in the similar way of last time but I already know that my hardware is capable to run it as I was using PC-BSD,
In short my problem is:
- Insert and boot from FreeBSD 11 Install FlashDrive
- Can see the splash screen with options
- At the moment of starting op 1 Multiuser or op 2 Single User, the display turns in bad mode showing just squares where it should show letters.
- I did try to boot by pre loading vesa module, but it didn't work too.
And my question is:
Since I can modify the boot options by loading modules, is there a way that I could copy some of my already installed PC BSD configuration and to loaded in the boot options of the installer so I can see the letters? (I did look at the rc.conf but it has only info for the Wifi and Dbus)
Or is there a way to select something similar to: please boot with 1078x768 screen resolution or anything like that?
Needless to say I did google it, checked the FreeBSD HandBook and looked at the forum but I didn't, or was not able, to find something.
Thank you so much in advance.
